Reminders

- To help protect club waters & fish stocks from the spread of invasive species and viruses such as Koi herpesvirus (KHV) members are asked to make sure all nets, slings and mats are clean and dry and are left out in the daylight on the bank prior to fishing.
- And Finally!… Your catch reports and catch shots are always welcome on the club private facebook group HERE and we wish you tight lines for the year ahead!
