Dangers of pole fishing when rigs get stuck in trees lily pads etc

If caught in a snag, lily pad, tree or bush, wrap towel round hands, make sure you are wearing boots, place foot on elastic & slowly pull elastic lift foot up & down to take up tension, turn your face away as you tighten up.
If you are unsure ask around for someone to show you. Failure to carry out the task correctly could end up like this or worse, this pole float went through the glove as well.

Looking for new tackle? / want to look at tips and techniques? / Want to try a new venue or perhaps book a fishing holiday with accommodation in 2010?

No worries ! I have updated the LINKS section on the site. There is a lot of interesting material here. Why not take a look ?

HELP TO PRESERVE THE CLUB'S FISH STOCK - it is highly recommended that members purchase a small bottle of iodine from their local chemist. Apply a dab with cotton wool bud to any injuries you find on fish that you catch will help greatly in keeping Ockley's fish stock in a healthy condition.

HOW TO GET MORE INVOLVED.........

Please send your material for the website to the web editor

MAILING LIST - I have created a mailing list to let members know about the latest additions, match reports etc. Please send me your address if you would like to be added to the list.

 

 SPECIES PAGE? This might be useful for new members. Would someone like to send in photos together with description and approximate weights for each of the types found in club waters?
Why not send in some photographs and perhaps a short account of your day's sport. Better still, some tips on how we can all improve.

PEG INFORMATION? On a recent trip Glyn Reeves kindly gave us some advice on what and how to fish certain peg numbers. Please send in any advice you have as the website could then provide a permanent record of this advice.
