A member left a decent rod at Luckfield this week (by accident of course).
Found and reported by another member between pegs 9 & 10.
By checking the log, we worked out who it probably was, contacted him & yes it is his.
Moral of the story:  Signing in & out (as required) assists us in many ways, especially for knowing the amount of trips along the unadopted lane that members make so we can work out the % of total cash we need to donate for the annual repairs of the lane between neighbours.
Work on it will be carried in October this year.. Watch this space for temporary closure of the lane & lake 🙏🎣
Thank you!

Just a polite reminder folks….
NO FIRES ‘of any kind, at any time’ at ALL of our waters, this has always been the case.
You may see controlled burns (not in the summer) at times, but please check them out if close by & report immediately if no one is present.
Thank you, enjoy the summer sport 🎣.

Friday 18 July saw thirteen DDAS members attend the annual Carp Competition at Orchard Lakes New Milton. Held on Jimmy’s Lake with a format to search for the larger residents, the eventual winner had a great start with his third fish being the biggest of the weekend at 29.12lb. A short break Saturday  morning allowed all to enjoy the on-site Café and recharged look to improve on their weights. It wouldn’t be the annual fixture without a storm front passing through and so Saturday night brought torrential rain and wind with all bivvy bound. This didn’t dampen spirits and come Sunday fish upgrades ensured the final Leaderboard remained unknown until the whistle at 1630. The results being:

1^st Andy Tattersall - three fish total 72lb

2^nd Dexter Atkinson

3^rd Julie Samways
