A message from our friends at the : We know how important it is to encourage youngsters to take up fishing, they are our future for our clubs to survive. We wish to invite your Junior members to partake in our Junior Open, scheduled for Saturday July 23rd at Nyewood Ponds & it’s FREE! We will have two categories aged 8-11 & 12-16, all information can be found on our website. the link has been provided below. To Enter, simply fill in the submission form on the webpage.  https://www.thepdac.co.uk/junior-youth-open

You may notice fish thrashing around in the reeds/margins on many of our waters. Sometimes this will occur right by where you are fishing. This is fish spawning, mostly carp but other species will as well. These spawning fish will not feed so please do not cast baits towards or near them. It is fine to fish as normal for species not spawning. The weather, particularly water temperature, will have an impact on spawning and it can stop and start over several weeks. The warmer the water, the earlier they will spawn. Different species also spawn at different times with Pike going early and Tench often late. As a general rule of thumb, the different species spawn as follows:

Pike – March to April

Carp – April to June

Tench – May to July

Bream – May to June

Perch – April to May

Roach – April to June

Rudd – May to July

Crucians – May to June

Unfortunately spawning also leads to fish stress, damage and sometimes mortalities. This is quite normal but please continue to report fish deaths to the local pond warden or the fishery management team.

Steve (FMO) and Mark (AFMO)
