River Rib

Following his recent talk at our monthly meeting, Mark Wilkinson wrote about his day on the Rib details of which can be accessed by clicking the link below.

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.
