Our river bailiffs have been out doing a great job on our beats of the Stour close to Shillingstone & Hanford. At the same time, they have banked some lovely Chevins (Chub) between them. Best recorded so far is 5lb 4oz (see image). It looks likely that will be broken soon... a pleasant little friendly battle they are having 👍.

If you need any tips, they will be more than happy to point you in the right direction (but it might cost you a pint or 2 😉).

Go light, with a long landing net handle, a flask of tea & a smile... there are some beautiful spots to sit and fish.  Enjoy!

Radipole Update:  
Yesterday, we received a draft 'Licence to Fish' from Dorset Council (DC), it had to be returned with details that were incorrect. We almost immediately received a revised version (I nearly fell off my seatbox!) that should permit us to open on Tuesday 16th June as planned (day 1 of river season). Our first draft submitted to DC was sent on 2nd April.

Anyway, in anticipation of Tuesday, we will be carrying out a DDAS members Litter Pick on Monday 15th. You ALL are welcome to come along and lend a hand if you like?  We will meet at 9am-9.15am in the cafe car park (free) along Radipole Park Drive (not the tennis courts or public one by the RSPB hut). We ‘may’ be able to remove some of the floating Algae at the same time (prior to the repaired Weed Removal Boat rescheduled for next week). No need to confirm thanks, we'll just see you there.

Winning weight in the club match at Silverlake:  71 lb… ALL Bream 👏🏼
