BBQ Match 12th July 2025
Here we go again another big day in the Abbey Cross calender our BBQ match please have a look and see if this will interest you in a days fishing.
The match is for two trophies the BBQ match and the ladies match so here it is and how it goes.
In each swim we fish as pairs all fish to be counted and all ladies to have their own net so we can see who caught the most and decide the winner. Collectively both nets will be weighed so we can decide the winner of the BBQ match.
In place of these results we also run a singles match no trophy to be won but if you enter and pay pools monies this will be payed out as a prize also you will receive a goodie bag prize as well.

Green Lanes - Unhooking mats
Due to the size of the fish in both lakes at Green Lanes we now advise that a suitable unhooking mat is used. Please not that the fish in the car park lake now go to 20lb plus and as such a 3ft x 2ft padded flat mat or carp style cradle should be used at all times. Any questions please ask the fishery officers.
