Leland
Water has seen a few day
ticket anglers and members after
Carp but have little to show for
their efforts. However the Pike
scene has livened up with several
fish being taken in the last week of
2011.
The best fish of the whole year at
18.5lbs was landed together with 3
other fish in the 6 – 10 lb range by
one happy pike angler.
Several other small Pike were also
banked throughout the week.
|
||||||||||
|
Atkins Water
has also fished well with several good
catches of Roach and Bream.
One or two Carp plus the
occasional Tench have been caught and
several anglers have returned on more than
one occasion to cash in on the good results.
|
||||||||||
|
Atkins
is hosting the Townsend match group on
Sunday the 8th of January, so the lake will
be closed for the day.
|
||||||||||
|
Magpie Lake
is still turning out good bags of Carp. Len
Proctor in particular seems to have the
method and a good eye for delicate bites as
he again bagged up towards the end of last
week.
|
||||||||||
| It just remains for me to wish all our members and visiting anglers a Happy and fish filled New Year! | ||||||||||
| 22/12/2011 Stop press!! Club record equalled by Atkins Perch. | ||||||||||
| Ken Jones made the most of the mild weather today at Atkins water when he netted a super Perch of 2lbs 12ozs. | ||||||||||
| This equals the club record held by P Lusher for a fish caught way back in 2000. | ||||||||||
|
|

| 22/12/2011 | ||||||||||
| All 3 lakes are completely ice free! Magpie water level is rising slowly and has had a few anglers fishing yesterday 21st. | ||||||||||
| Atkins is very clear but like Magpie the level is slightly up on last week. More rain is needed. | ||||||||||

As the year
ends the club is saying goodbye to our long
suffering secretary, Pam Day.
Pam volunteered
to take on the job back in 2003 on a
temporary 1 year basis that has lasted
nearly 9 years.
Club
Chairperson, Tony Leadley presented Pam with
a Magnum of Champagne and a large bouquet of
flowers at her last committee meeting as
Secretary earlier this month.
Thanks Pam,
you've done a great job.
Needless to say
the club is now looking for another unwary
volunteer to take over as secretary.

|
As for the usual
report, well sadly there isn't much to
report.
All 3 of the club lakes
at Landbeach have been frozen to some extent
and although the ice has now cleared, no one
is fishing.
The lakes will all be
open to anglers over the Christmas period.
Ice seems unlikely over
the next week, so hopefully a few hardy
anglers will try their luck over the
holidays.

Day tickets for Magpie
and Atkins will be available on the bank,
while day tickets for Leland Water are only
available if booked in advance with Tony

The Cam remains clear
of ice and has a bit more flow after the
recent rain.
A few small Pike have
been caught and a 10lb Zander has been
reported from the lower river at Bottisham
Lock.
|

| The Cam can be fished by purchasing a Waterbeach Angling Club membership card or by day ticket, both sold on the bank. | ||||||||||

| Leland Water has seen very few anglers this week and no Carp of note have been caught. Club chairman Tony Leadley visited with his 2 grandchildren and banked a few pike up to 10lbs. | ||||||||||
| Atkins Water again has seen few anglers but those who have fished have caught some nice Roach to almost a pound in weight. | ||||||||||
| Magpie Lake is still turning out a steady stream of carp to 10lbs, but again angler numbers are low. | ||||||||||

|
Leland Water.
Things are a bit slow with the
change in weather obviously putting anglers
off. However the fish are still there to be
caught and a couple of regulars have caught
some nice fish.
Richard Ginn continues
his successful season with yet another
double figure carp weighing in at 19lb. Bait
was as usual Luncheon meat float fished
fairly close in.
Ben Hervey-Murray also
returned for another carp of 18lb 4oz taken
on a brilliant white popped up imitation
bait. Ben's fish came at dusk just as he was
packing up.
A few small pike have
been taken up to 8lbs.

| Atkins Water has provided one happy angler this week with the catch of his short life so far! 6 year old Jake Plumb caught this absolutely mint conditioned Mirror on Saturday. Fishing with his Dad Nigel, Jake tempted his 8lb 07oz prize with a ledgered 10mm Techni spice boilie, hair rigged with a PVA bag of assorted small diameter pellets. Sadly Dad Nigel blanked! Great catch Jake! | ||||||||||

| Magpie Lake is still producing some good catches although the number of anglers is dropping away. Carp, as expected are the major species coming to the net with fish ranging from 2lbs to 10lbs coming out this week. | ||||||||||
| Leland Water has seen yet more good sized specimen Carp banked this last week. Best catch went to a anonymous Syndicate member who weighed in a 30lb 12oz Mirror, a 27lb 14oz fully scaled Mirror and a 17lb Common.

Magpie Lake has seen mixed fortunes this
week with one or two anglers getting some really
good catches while others have struggled.
This was highlighted this Sunday when Townsend
Angling help a 16 peg match where only 6 anglers
bothered to weigh in. Those that did were
topped by the winning weight of 41lbs 14ozs from
R Wilson, 2nd was M Kirk with 12lbs 04ozs and
3rd was D Burns with 10lbs 03ozs.
Individual catches from mid week included a cracking 12lb Common caught by Kevin Dumbrill [again] in a bag of around 15 carp averaged 3lbs. One or two nice roach approaching a pound in weight are also showing up along with some small Perch. |
||||||||||
| Atkins Water continues to produce to those that are prepared to put in some time on it. Bream and Roach are the prominent species showing at present | ||||||||||
| The River Cam is producing a few small Pike and the occasional small Zander as well as the usual Roach catches. Roach of 1/2lb to 1lb are beginning to figure in feature in some of the catches. | ||||||||||
| 06/11/2011 | ||||||||||
| Leland Water has seen a bit of action this week mainly from Day ticket anglers who have had a few different species. One or two small pike have been caught as well as some Bream and Roach. The best results have come to Ben Hervey-Murray who after last weeks success came back for more and Richard Ginn, who continues to winkle out some nice fish. Ben banked a 17lb-04oz Common [Pictured below] and followed that just on darkness with a Mirror of 21lb-10ozs[ also pictured below] He baited with popped up Nash Monster Squid boilies on a short hair rig. | ||||||||||

Magpie Lake
has been much quieter this last week as far
as the numbers fishing goes, but catches are
holding up well with good bags of Carp
coming out to those that have fished.
This is the time of
year that the silver fish should start to
show up more in catches and to prove the
point the highlight of the week was a 2lb
Roach to Paul Collins fishing on Peg 6.
The lake record stands
at 2lb-06ozs caught in a Post Office match 5
years ago.
|
||||||||||
|
Paul returned to fish
Atkins Water a few days
later and landed a cracking Tench of 4-10.

Leland Water
produced a 26lb 03oz Linear Mirror to
Anglers Mail editor Ben Hervey-Murray, but

been caught over the week.

| Swan Rescue in the shape of the RSPCA were called to Leland Water yesterday. We had a resident swan in obvious difficulty after loosing his or her mate recently. It had been driven off the water by another pair from Corpus lake [next door] and needed help. The RSPCA turned up and quickly accessed the swan as needing immediate care as it was infested with fly eggs. RSPCA Inspector Lythgoe quickly captured the animal and has taken it to the RSPCA recovery unit at East Winch near Kings Lynn. Hopefully we will be able to do a follow up good news story in the near future. | ||||||||||

Disabled angler Dave Barker had a short 2 hour session and netted 3 really nice Carp of around 6lbs each. Dave, a former England international fly angler, fishes at Magpie on a weekly basis, as it possible to get a wheelchair to most of the swims.

Atkins Water produced some excellent weights in the Peter Edwards Memorial Match held on Saturday. Sam Hawkes fished a 13 metre pole on Peg 4 using maggot for a mixed bag of Carp and Silver fish weighing in at 46lbs 2ozs. Sam was closely followed by Ian Baker who fished paste over liquidised corn for his 42lbs 8ozs also of Carp and Silver fish.

Result 1st S Hawkes 46lbs 02ozs 2nd I Baker 42lbs 08ozs 3rd A Hawkes 21lbs 4th J Osbourne 18lbs 08ozs. Sam’s win means he retains the Trophy for another year
Sam with just some of his winning bag. |

Magpie Lake hosted Littleport Ex-Service Mens AC also on Saturday and returned some excellent weights as well. Result 1st J Colder 84lbs 12ozs Peg 10 2nd J Anslip 50lbs Peg 29 3rd I Cuthbert 28lbs 04ozs Peg 14 Magpie seems to produce good weights in the afternoon as nothing much was caught in the morning period, but come 2pm the lake Carp really switched on. Whispering Reeds suggests that perhaps cold water entering the lake from the previous day put the fish off until midday. However water levels remain low, so we are still praying for more rain. Magpie in general is still performing well! Sunday [28th] for instance, Ian Waine caught 46 carp up to 10lbs, while Kevin Dumbrill [again] was struggling with only 16! Ian had to stop fishing because of wrist strain [Magpie wrist]. |

Leland Water Keith Ferris returned [on his own] on Tuesday [22nd] to record a catch of 10 Bream to 5lbs 09ozs. Mid-week fisherman, Ken Bingham, survived a night and half a day of heavy rain to bank 4 carp best a Common of 25lbs, followed by a 22lb 03oz Mirror and 2 more double figure Commons plus a bonus Tench of 5lbs 04ozs. Most notable catch of the week was to local angler Mel Buddle, who always float fishes in the traditional style. Topping his catch of Roach, Perch, Rudd and Bream was a fine personal best Common Carp of 23lbs. Day ticket anglers have struggled with only 1 20lb 05oz Common being netted while there have been plenty of smaller fish caught. |

| Leland Water. Following last weeks report one member Pom Walia, carried on with his 4 day/night session and it was all worthwhile as he landed carp 25-8, 16-8, 15 all commons plus mirrors of 19-8, 19, 12-8 and 11-8. Not to be outdone, one of his guests, Mark Reeves, banked 4 mirrors of 22, 21, 14, and 10lbs respectively. Not content with this productive catch, Pom returned later in the week to catch 3 commons of 25, 24-4, 23-7 plus 3 commons of 11-6 [x2], and 9-9. His guest this time Stu Thompson, had 2 mirrors of 16, and 12-8 plus 3 tench between 3 and 4.5lbs. |
| Day ticket visitors have had mixed results, but catch of the week was 30lbs of bream to first time visitor Gareth Edwards with fish up to 5.75lbs. Towards the end of the week Richard Ginn banked a 15lb mirror and a 17lb common. Fev Sevillino had a 22.5lb common on an extremely wet day. |

| There has been just one match this week but the result is not to hand at present. |
| Atkins Water as with Magpie is producing good fish with carp, bream to the for. The one that got away was played for 45 minutes, without being seen, before breaking the line. |
| Magpie and Atkins tickets available on the bank. |
| The River Cam downstream of Bottisham lock is producing some really good quality Rudd and also so decent Bream. There are plans to clear some extra swims in that area. Club cards are available in local tackle shops. |
| 14/08/2011 |
| Leland Water is still producing plenty of Tench, Bream, Rudd and Roach to both day ticket anglers and members. Carp of 25-12, 24-08, 19-04 plus a couple of 17's were the main catches for members. Day Tickets available for Leland only are available in advance from Tony Leadley Tel: 07966 487320. |
Magpie Lake is again producing well for
pleasure anglers, although mid week results for
match anglers wasn't too good. However Sunday's
match for Witchford AC was more of a result with
top weight of 114-10. This match finished at 4pm
and several quality fish to 6 or 7lbs were taken
in the last hour, proving the point that the
best fishing appears to be late afternoon and
early evening.
Just one from the winning catch in Sunday's match!
|
|
Atkins Water is still producing the odd
Carp plus Bream and Tench. Day tickets on
both Magpie and Atkins are available on the
bank. The following image is of Brian Day's 14lb

| Members are noticeable by their absence but Mel Buddle has been making the most of his retirement catching plenty of roach, rudd and bream plus 3 Tench to 4lbs 02oz all caught on float fishing tactics. |
| Atkins Water report is much the same as last week with fish moving in the mid afternoon to evening. WAC member Brian Day tested himself and his light tackle with a 14lb 8oz Carp. |
| Also Atkins Water hosts the Peter Edwards Memorial Match on Saturday August 27th Draw 9am Fish 10am - 3pm Further details Tel: 01223 812050. Peter was a prominent member of Waterbeach Angling Club for many years. Day Tickets available on the bank. |
| Magpie Lake has had another visit from Kevin Dumbrill who continues to to catch vast numbers of Magpie's carp, this time when our correspondent [Whispering Reeds!] left him he was looking to catch carp number 40!! |
| Ware AC fished on Sunday the 7th with mixed results, see below for those results. Finishing at 3pm was perhaps to early as most of the carp came in the hour leading up to the final whistle. In fact 3 carp were being played as the whistle sounded and were landed within the time allowed [15minutes]. |
| The water levels in all 3 lakes are low and we are all praying for some substantial rain to fall in the next few weeks. Day Tickets are available on the bank. |

| Atkins Water is producing mainly Carp and Bream but silver fish are harder to come by. Afternoon and early evening are the productive times although I'm sure an early morning start would also show some good results. |
| Magpie Lake again is producing large quantities of Carp. The last match results are not to hand at present but pleasure anglers are recording good bags. Prime times are again the same as for Atkins Water, afternoon and early evening! Ware Angling Club have a 20 peg match on Sunday August the 7th so the lake will be closed 10am - 4pm after which day tickets will again be available on the bank. |
