Treoes
Pond.
It was mentioned at the AGM that
not enough information regarding the fish mortalities at
Treoes Pond has been advertised to the membership. Following
Fish tests done by both the Environment Agency and DEFRA, it
is confirmed that there is a Viral infection that has affected
the Carp stocks. The virus is in the form of a single cell
organism that attaches itself to the gill rakers of Cyprinids.
It is not known how the virus got into the pond, but to ensure
that it does not get moved to any of our other Club waters,
Members must dip their nets and mats in the dip tanks provided
when arriving and before leaving Treoes Pond. The Club is
taking this very seriously and will not tolerate members
refusing to use the dip tanks.

2008/09
Annual Fish of the year winners.
The fish award was voted for
by Club members at this years AGM. It was a very close
run thing in both Junior and senior categories, with
only one vote separating first and second in the senior
section, plus in the junior section only two votes separated
first and second.
Senior Winner was Amanda
Joseph with 11lb 8oz Ghost Carp, whilst Matthew White
won the Junior section with a 14lb Grass Carp.
|
|
|
It was good to see that in
the Senior section there was a very good mix of species
entered, however it seems the Juniors only seem to enter
Carp. So this season, let's see if the Juniors can enter
some different species. Remember it is not about record
weights, but more a notable fish for a certain Club
Water. A 2lb Perch or a 6lb Tench has as much
chance of winning as a 10lb Carp.
Entry forms for the 2009/10
Season are available here.
