AFTER THE SNOW...

It's not Spring yet but at least the snow has gone and folk are fishing again. See our Blog.

Miles did his first ever Pike fishing session today on his day off and showed the regulars how easy it is by catching four and losing one! He had never seen a pike rig before running last weekend's Pike & Predator event with Mick Brown.

Left is a picture of one of our 'stockies' perhaps a hint of things to come!

'HORSESHOE DREAMS' DVD

Don't believe us; see what Dave of Derbyshire has to say:

"..what a brilliant and informative DVD. Congratulations to all those involved in putting together one of the best fishing films I have seen. I have been fishing for a great number of years and was always under the impression that the Society and Horseshoe Lake was for the elite, and as I don't have the time to Carp fish on a full time basis I thought perhaps I wouldn't be able to fit in. But I have joined and after watching your superb DVD cannot wait to get down to Horseshoe..."

Take a walk around one of the premier waters in the country, with Tim Wagner as your guide.

Buy it online!
 

Lots of tips and suggestions, including techniques for weedy waters useful for general knowledge and other waters.
