Camrose AC went to Dandys Ford last week where Darren (Dodgy) Brown fished up in the water for his 95lb 8oz of carp. I put paste to good use for second place with 76lb on two plus two match secretary Pip Seeny was third with 44lb . Twelve fished and caught.
White House Lake and New Barlow's Lake at Tadley benefitted from a stocking of Bream last week. Specimens up to 8lb were introduced, but most were in the five to five and a half size.
Two hundred fish in total went in that makes the Stacey's ticket even better value for money.
