A quick shout out to the team at Sinah who have taken the low water as an opportunity to remove snags and rubbish. Since Wednesday this week Bob Mann along with his 2 boys Archie and Finley and the Bailiff and Helper team have made the lake a safer place to fish. Massive thanks to his bailiffs – Vinny stone ,Ricky frost, Wayne Rule, Liam Rule and also a massive thank you to some of the anglers that turned up to help – Dave Rackstraw, David Dowling, Russell McGarrity, Josh Frost, and some others all turned up to help. Good turn out with lots achieved, most of them need a medal for what they’ve pulled out the lake – Thank you to all for the amazing brilliant effort!!

Due to low water levels Sinah will now be closed until further notice. Test show that the DO levels are good, however due to the extremely low water levels now, fish landing could be dangerous – therefore we will be closed until further notice. We would like to say well done to the Sinah Team who have used the low water levels to remove lots of snags from the water, Thank you. PDAS Committee 20/08/22

Hi all,

After a good night’s sleep, I can sit down and reflect on the charity match weekend. A lot of laughs and fun throughout both days, great group of anglers split fishing four lakes, plus the junior matches with a lot of help and support from the team to ensure a great weekend.

Saturday & Sunday mornings Tithe Bottom Lake

The weekend started with a group of junior’s anglers fishing a short format informal fun match on the bottom lake at Tithe. Steve (FMO) along with the other junior coaches (Andy, Charlotte, Alan, Phil) plus other helpers to ensure all the kids enjoyed themselves. The idea was to give the kids a chance to take part in a match and enjoy a few hours fishing with the parents and guardians able to help them if required. Quickly the sound of their excitement soon echoed around the lake as they landed each fish. A special thank you from me to Charlotte for all her hard work organising both junior matches.

With the trophies awarded for the junior match winner, best male junior angler, most fish caught and the biggest fish, every junior was given a prize to take home and it was great to see everyone smiling and having so much fun.

24-hour matches – Saturday 10am

On signing up each angler was able to pick which lake they would fish, then at 10am a draw was conducted to determine which swim they would use. With the sun blazing down it was pretty clear that most would have favoured drawing a shady peg but as they say “That’s the luck of the draw”. Two hours later at midday the whistle was blown and the matches at each of the lakes were underway.

Initially it was a slow start […]

Please be aware the bottom lake will be closed both days from 08-00hrs till 16-00hrs. Spaces still available, Please call Steve.
