A massive WELL DONE to all the lads who attended the work party up the Wye at Monmouth, we have now created several very fishable pegs on the Church Bank for us all to enjoy in Mid June.

The last two weeks have been very productive, Llantrithyd is looking a lot better and the Wye is ready to go! Again WELL DONE and THANK YOU to everyone who has attended so far in this Spring's work parties.

One more to go. St y Nyll Tue 28th May an evening of weed raking, start from 4:30pm till dusk, please bring weed rakes to help get the lake in prime condition to open later in that week. As always a text 07929785265 or a mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to confirm availability.

Thanks for your time!

Would all members who venture down to Llantrithyd please be aware that there is a dye in the water to help control the Canadian Pond weed.
The water colour will be dark brown but this will not harm the fish, only stop the UV light enough to kill off the Canadian pond weed. The dye has been confirmed as non toxic and has been sanctioned by the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales, as fish safe.
The dye will disperse gradually over time.

The first of this year’s Carp Competitions in memory of Jark Van Vuurun (Kid Marmite) started on Saturday 4th May 2013 at Treoes with eager competitors turning up raring to draw that vital peg. Once the draw was over it was like Wacky Races with everyone trying to set up before the weather turned foul, which it did around 830am.

To enable the Club to arrange and provide resource through the membership for the Spring work parties this year, Rob Clarke and Amanda Joseph have agreed between them to co-ordinate the work parties with the Head Bailiff.

All members who have identified that they are willing to attend work parties on their license application will be contacted by post to request availability and confirm the best way of contacting each individual.

There will be a number of work parties this Spring:
Pyscodlin Mawr Pond
St y Nyll Top Pond
Llantrythid lake
River Wye - Monmouth Stretch.
Dates to follow.

Any Club member who can give up a few hours of their spare time would be welcomed, to help us keep the waters in excellent condition and allow easy access for all club members.

It may be possible to schedule some work for weekday evenings if this would permit better attendance by Club Members.

If you can give up a few hours, please either contact:
Rob Clarke on 07929 785265
Or
Amanda Joseph on 07837 13035.

2013 Match fixtures and contact numbers.

As of March 14th 2013, it is with regret that the Club will no longer have the fishing rights on the Bibblins stretch of the River Wye.
A new lease owner has taken over the stretch and imposed restrictions in the access and fishing areas to the river and a much increased annual rental, which the Committee, following long negotiations decided was not in the Clubs interests to continue the lease.
Members still have access to the Monmouth stretch.
