Points Match 6, Mepal, 19th August 2018 It was a surprise to everyone to find the water level down by a good three feet, despite the heavy rain of the past week. It was noted that a pump running at the far end may have been [...]
Points Match 5, Reach Lode, Upware 5th August 2018 This time thanks went to Ken Whitmore for his heroic raking efforts during the preceding week, using his ‘saw blades on a pole’ device, to clear most of the streamer and blanket weed from all of the [...]
Points Match 4, OLD WEST, Stretham, 22nd July 2018 With Ian on his holidays I have the dubious pleasure of reporting on our recent match. Conditions looked good with some good cloud cover unfortunately the river was backing up rather than flowing which I think impacted [...]
Points Match 3, The Cam, above Baits Bite 8th July 2018 Despite the preceding dry sunny weeks the water was quite coloured, although with almost no flow other than when the lock gates were opened. Surprisingly most swims were also fairly clear of weed so only [...]
Points Match 1, Reach Lode, Upware 24th June 2018 Thanks again to Mike Lynch for clearing swims of bank side reeds, especially as he wasn’t able to fish due to wife requirements Predictably the past dry sunny month or so had resulted in crystal clear water [...]

Match 14, Reach Lode, Upware 11th March 2018 This was certainly not our best match on this venue, with only the very early pegs finding anything bigger than a ½ ounce roach. A surprising flow and biting wind resulted in no bites at all for many [...]
Sweepstake 6, The Cam, Chesterton Railway Bridge, 4th March 2018 We arrived to find near perfect conditions, with a slight flow, good colour and almost no wind. The temperature was up 6°C on the week and still rising so we were keen to get started. General [...]
Sweepstake 5, The Cam, Boats section Horningsea, 18th February 2018 Despite this being one of the better and more consistent sections there was reluctance from some to fish because of poor catches reported during the preceding week. For those of us however who did want a [...]
Match 13, The Lark, 14th January 2018 There couldn’t have been a much bigger contrast to the last match here in October, the average catch then was 10 lb per man, this time, with one notable exception it was 6 oz! The one exception of course [...]
