Most of you know by one of the names above it's not the biggest fishery in the world but offers anglers a choice of what they want to do. whether it's all out Carp fishing on a lake or whether you prefer Canalised lakes for pole fishing Ryecroft fits your needs.Easy access to most pegs and less than 30 yard walk to other pegs off the park parks.
AS you know Trafty off the website has been running a silverfish league or just open matches on the venue whether its a Saturday or Wednesday also helped by Mark brooks i'm not sure if Mark runs the fishery .I have always wanted to fish these matches as a lot of the lads had told me how good it can be specially as Taftys matches are silverfish only .Now i have a little more time for fishing i made the long a waitted trip yesterday meeting up with Tafty for Breakfast and another great friend Graham Barry who i have known seams like all my life back in the old Marks and Marlow and still moaning for England

Pete had stuck it out with pellet and i could only see the end of Taftys new pole at 13m but that didn't look as if the float was going up

i had started to have some bites on the drop so i picked up my edge rig which happened to be a chianti 4x10 strung out well what happened next was a run of big roach rudd and the odd skimmer i couldn't feed too much as the odd carp kept topping so it was very gently feeding this last until the end although the Roach did get smaller

at the weigh in i finished up with 20lb 9oz
TAFTY admitted he had spent too long fishing for the skimmers at 13 m but still had 17lb

Pete Warren again said he had spent too long at 13m and fished pellets Pete ended up with a dead 19lb

yet we couldn't compete with the higher numbers John Eccles had a lovely net of great big roach ide rudd and skimmers for 28lb sorry about the photo but the sun came out and we didn't have too much room to move about

Next to John was young Matt who had a nightmare once the carp had found his bait in the last hour but still managed a great net of skimmers for 27lb
