A report on our stretch of the River Thames at Sonning by Fishery Officer Dave Ruddle.

Sonning continues to fish well.

I was fishing there yesterday (5 July) and had 6 Bream, the biggest was 8lb 15oz. Also, there are good bags of Dace to be had.

If you haven’t fished before it is well worth a try.

If you need any help or advice on this excellent venue then Dave is the man to speak to.

Shepherds Way – New piling and platforms

Category : Fishery Reports

We have recently completed the new piling by the bottom end of Neate’s Lake to stop the continuing leakage into the small lake. In addition, we are in the process of installing new platforms on the small lake, some pictures of the first platform.

Thanks to Ron Karasavvas and Nigel Pitt for sorting out the new platform on the small lake.

All of the bank adjoining the small lake is now complete & as you can see, the bridge has been replaced & widened.

Obviously all is needed is to place the swim plates back into position but we just need the bank to settle for a few days so the ground levels out.
