September 2017 - Big Carp Magazine write up


 Thanks to Chris Reilly for the write up in this months Big Carp Magazine A month of mixed emotions for us down Carpdell fishery in August. Sad news to lose the iconic Split Tail. Remember hearing about this fish when we first step foot onto "Rousebarn" as it was known back then in the early 90's. Over a decade passed before we returned to chase this king of the pond. She put many a smile on the faces of Coaches and students alike over the years. On the plus side we had another fantastic set of open day events this year with literally hundreds of people having their first go at fishing. Was another bonus to get some hours bankside ourselves after the open days, some cracking fish caught which shows the future is very bright for Carpdell fishery. Thanks go to everyone involved; Professional Anglers Association, Angling Trades Association; National Fishing Month; Tony Forman, David Brown, Paul Forman, Roger Smith. Andrew Clark, Del Greening, Michael Heylin, Mick Parkinson and Alan Colclough.
