Sunday 15th November - Boddington reservoir
We will be holding a bank fishing day at Boddington reservoir. This lake in unequalled locally in the numbers and size of large pike that it has been throwing up including one of the first none trout water 40 pounders for many years.
We will fish along the West bank of the reservoir which is the bank just up from the car park. Fishing can take place between dawn and dusk so turn up when you wish and no doubt we'll have acheeky one after packing up ;-).

Bank Anglers
This year we are able to offer bank fishing of a stretch know as the ‘Fox Waters’. It’s downstream of where the boats are launched and is a stretch very familiar with a few of us. It holds good pike and Zander, the access is good and so are the swims. Take the Birlingham road off the Defford road from Pershore and then after half a mile turn left onto Shorthill Road. Follow this road past the farm until you come to a sharp right hand bend with a farm track that continues straight on. Take the farm track and turn Left after 100 yards and driver towards the Floodbank in the distance. Park where suitable and walk the flood bank until you find a suitable swim.
Day tickets are £5 each. I’d appreciate it if someone could collect all the money and take a list of names then I will be down in my boat later to collect this for the Bailiff.
The river here is very deep (13 – 22ft) and slow and has fish along the full stretch. It has done 20lb pike and Double figure Zander in the past. The stretch starts at a single willow tree next to a fence at the top end to a fence down the bottom end marking the start of the Smiths waters.
Boat Anglers
Same launch site as before. For newcomers this is off the Defford Road from Pershore where the river meets the road about a mile out of the town. I’ve spoke to Derek at Kingfisher Marine and he is happy to accommodate us again. Please ensure that everyone launching a boat pays a launch fee of £6. This is to be placed in an envelope and posted through the letterbox on the garage door before launching.
Look Forward to seeing you all next Sunday.
