A party of hardy volunteers was out last weekend tidying up some footpaths and planting trees which have been donated. It is pretty much unseen work but lots of small contribution’s add up quietly to help our members enjoy their fishing.

It would be brilliant if more people were able to join us, we could achieve so much more. So next time you are on the river bank and think “they should do something about that” please stop and think, “who are they?” and what can you do to help.

We’d love to hear from you if you have enjoyed any time fishing this week.

Sure enough the Trout season arrived with wind , rain and snow with the river running very high and coloured, but it may be that in quieter spells you enjoyed a little sport.

Lets hope the river settles quickly and trout come out to feed.

Please be sure to share your successes.

Jubilee Lakes brings you one of their popular events.

The Open Day will take place on APRIL 1st ( 11:00am to approx. 3:00pm).

Those not fooling around on April 1st include Andrew Sowerby, brand manager from Hardy, Greys and Shakespeare and Jim Fearn from Rio & Vision displaying his world class salmon casting skills this promises to be a great day out.

All you need to do is turn up.
