update from Fishers Green.
Fishers Green Consortium
River Lea Update – Please Advise your Members!
Due to the change in the forecast weather the river will be open again on the 1st of September
including lure fishing to the lakes.
With regards to the re-opening to the east bank of the river and Langridge Lake this is
now forecasted to be on the 2nd of October but members will have to bear with us
on the reopening as there will be a lot of work to do in clearing the swims.
I will, closer to the date, post out an invite to a work party to get this work done.

Well done to Steven Eagle who caught this 18lb 06oz Common Carp from the Boot Pit earlier today. It was caught on the only bite of the session on a double 12mm Robin Red pellet and PVA bag of 4/6mm pellets.

Due to critically low water levels and reduced oxygen levels, the RIVER IS CLOSED to all fishing with immediate effect until further notice.
To help protect the welfare of the fish, this closure also includes all pike lure fishing on the lakes and the relief channel.
Conditions will be monitored closely, and the situation will be reviewed on a daily basis. We will provide updates as soon as it is safe to reopen.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we take these necessary measures to protect the fishery.
Thank you.

Shepherds Way Lakes will remain closed because of this very hot weather that we are having at the moment, the temperature in Neate’s Lake is reading 24 degrees & the small Lake 22 degrees, also we have low water levels, the water is being checked daily, but if this hot weather continues, this fishery will remain closed until further notice.
Just to let you know, nearby Lowbell Lane fishery is fishing well at the moment.

BADAC are proud to announce another charity match for Isabel Hospice on Saturday 29th August to commence fishing at 8am with a maximum of 20 anglers that will participate. To book your place on this match please do so via the “Make a Booking” tab on the Clubmate App or contact the match organiser Ron Karasavvas on 07971 918635 direct. The draw will take place at 6.45am so you should arrive at the venue at 6.30am. Each entry will cost £25 per angler to cover prize money for the winners and runners up and keepnets. Start Fishing at 8am There will be a BBQ for an hour at 1pm to allow for the first weigh-in, all fishing to stop for an hour to enjoy the BBQ/Coffee/Tea at cost of £6 and purchase raffle tickets. Fishing to recommence at 2pm – Fishing will stop at 7pm. Please note that normal match rules apply. The raffle will be held for donated prizes at 7.45pm whilst the last weigh-in is taking place – Presentation of winners and runners up to take place at 8.30-9pm.
All participating anglers will have a sponsor sheet and we would like them to get as many sponsors to guess the total weight of the fish caught by end of fishing by all anglers on the day. The nearest weight sponsor will receive a prize, each sponsor to donate £5.00 per guess weight per line.
As a guide carp vary between 3lb – 15lb and anticipate during this time of year an average 5 – 15 carp per angler with other species averaging total weight per angler of 30lb – 60lb could be caught over the this period multiply by maximum of 20 anglers could be as much as 600lbs (i.e. 30lbs average total fish caught x 20 anglers = 600lbs) , but not all anglers may catch the average. These averages were taken on BADAC Match competitions over the previous 3 years during the summer months, the most weight was 434lbs with 18 anglers on one day (these weights are only as a guide).
Please join us for this special worthy cause, we would like to raise as much money as we can, every penny counts.
