still have litter being left and I cannot put this all down to the public who walk round the lake. BILL GARDNER ============================ PARSONAGE FARM First of all a big thank you for those that took the time to phone and give me information on their catches it was most appreciated. Bream are being caught by those who try the bigger baits, sweet corn is catching the better quality fish, lots and lots of roach coming out on maggots with reports of tench up to 7-8 lbs. No reports as yet of any decent size perch but if you know better please give me a ring. All swims are looking good and some have been cut in by some of our regulars, big thanks for that and also to the owner who keeps the grass cut round the fishery. Please remember to use barbless hooks and not to keep your fish in keep nets for too long. Ray Ankin ============================ SHALFORD Both lakes still continue to fish well despite the small drop in temperature. All the usual species are being caught with best baits being pellet, meat and bread for the carp and maggots for the smaller fish. Fishing to the island on the bottom lake will find you a few better carp. Now we have had a few flush throughs with rain the river fishing should pick up with some nice chub to be caught. Can I also remind members fishing Codham Mill to please take their litter home with them. Gary Acres ============================ RIVER STOUR, HENNY. At the end of the summer I was lucky enough to witness an EA electro fishing survey being done on our section of the Stour. These surveys are done every couple of years on the same location to see if any trends can be noted. One thing that was apparent was the good numbers of varying year classes of roach (the best in fact for many years). A couple of good size pike were taken along with some big bream and chub, surprisingly some baby Tench were caught. Sadly no barbel showed. The river is extremely clear at the moment, but the weed is dying off. A bit of rain should sort things out, fingers crossed! Steve Howell.
