Please note that due to several fish deaths in recent days, Dovemere will be shut until further notice whilst health checks are carried out, and to prevent any proliferation should there be a contagious disease present. Currently we are keeping Sandmere open, but should circumstances change we may also have to close Sandmere. To save yourself any wasted trips please keep an eye out on our various information points. Marbury Church is holding a Flower Festival from 6th to 8th August 2010, there will be a floating flower display in the church bay Please note that the Stock pond on the Capesthorne estate will remain closed until the 8th July 2010. All other waters on the estate will be open. Please note that the match on Sunday 4th July 2010 has been moved from Bosley to Rossmere. Therefore Rossmere will be closed to all members but Bosley will be open. Over-running work on the Macclesfield Canal means the water in Bosley isn’t being drawn off and the water level remains too high. The CADG group is hosting a junior team match (for teams of 6 anglers aged Under 16) at Border Fishery, Crewe , on Wednesday 4th August. The event is being sponsored by the Environment Agency, and we have trophies and tackle prizes for the winning teams and individuals. This event will be the inaugral Cheshire county team match, that hopefully will be contested for many years to come, as angling aligns it’s competition structure to a county-based system, as seen in other popular sports. For enquiries about the match, please contact our junior development officer, details of which can be found in your membership booklet The new parking area is now available for June 16th. For those familiar with the water, its a little further down the track than the original parking area. Please only use the new parking area as the farmer uses the old one for storage.

After postponing the Puritz Grayling day from the original date at the end of Feb due to high river levels the PAAS club Grayling day finally went ahead on Sunday 7th March. The venue was the River Dee at Erbistock. 14 anglers turned out to fish, some of who had travelled a fair distance for the day. It was good to see members returning from last Most anglers set out adopting a czech nymph approach to begin with, using heavily weighted flies that would get down to where the fish were likely to be. By midday we began to realise that the fishing was going to be tough as only 1 grayling had been caught. Kevin O’Sullivans pink bug had taken a fish and given him an advantage going into the afternoon session. After a short 30 minute break, and a warm in the pub, the afternoon session started for the remaining 2 hours. Fishing was again hard, but a concentration of fish appeared along the middle stretches of the beat and a few anglers managed to winkle a few fish from this area.
Kevin O’Sullivan 3 In the event of a draw it was decided at the start of the comp that the angler that caught the first grayling would be the winner. Therefore Kevin O’Sullivan was the eventual winner on the day……well done Kevin. He was presented with the Puritz Trophy and a very nice Sonik SK Lite aluminium fly reel. At least you’ll look the part now Kevin even when you’re not catching anything!! Many thanks to Malc Capper and the baliff, John Davies, who helped me with the organisation of the day. Also thanks to Sonik Sports for their kind support – Mike |
