Hi Danglers.....long time no see......I know it's still a bit early in the year, but thought I would just let everyone know that I will be running an autumn league on the Droitwich canal at the Briskers Fishery Hawford sections. I have spoken to the Worcester and D. U. A. A. to get their dates and have organised around them. Draws will be as last year at the Mill House Caravan site - at Hawford, with 5 matches out of 6 to count. Every angler (as usual) will get lots of space during the league ensuring maximum chances of lots of sport from shoals of Roach, Rudd, Perch, Bleak, an increasing head of Chublets, Dace, Eels and of course the resident skimmers and Bream. Can the match record be broken this year ? It stands at 43lb, and we have come close a few times with several 30 and 20lb weights, and dozens of 10 plus pound nets. The Bream now average 3lb with lots over 4 and some now over 5lb ! Like all canals in the autumn, fishing can take some thought, but the fish are in the canal in large numbers. Dates for the league will be 6th/20th October, 3rd/17th November and 1st/15th December. Entry to the league costs £20, payable by no later than Friday 27th September, giving 1 week to sort out sections and pegs for yours truly. Fishery rules apply, No Fishmeal/Pellets, Barbless hooks, no Blood/Joker.
