The last Fishing Competition of our season was held over the weekend which saw many members get out and have a fish. As it was the last Goblet of our season I congratulate everyone who participated in making it a great season even if the weather was unpleasant at times and congratulations to all our Goblet winners. The 2023-2024 season starts immediately so you can start sending me your fish to be recorded.Remember that one fish of each species can be recorded each day if you wish.
Our next Goblet weekend is September 15th-16-17th. Goblet is a non Goglet fish species.
Measure In times have now changed to 2pm hopefully giving members a little extra time to fish on the Sunday. Measure In and BBQ will be held at the Tuross Club.
