2012 Matches and Results |
|
29th January 2012 |
|
Atkins Water has been very quite this
week with very few fishing. Those that
have fished have struggled to catch probably due
to the cold weather. Even so several nice Roach
have shown up in nets. |
|
Magpie Lake is much the same as Atkins
with few fishing although one or two Carp and a
few Roach have been caught. |
|
Leland Water has seen a few more fishing
and they have been rewarded with fish up to
18lbs taken by a Life member. Another
member who fished through the night also
recorded a Carp of 14lbs and a Bream of 6lb.
All of Leland is open again after the trees
downed in the recent gales have been cleared
away. |

25th January 2012 |
|
After last week's ice up all the lakes are open
for business. The rain of the last few days
although keeping anglers indoors has seen water
levels rise on all three lakes. |
|
Atkins Water has seen few anglers but the
few who have fished have caught quite well in
the circumstances. Bags of around 12lbs
can be achieved with a bit of patience. |
|
Magpie still continues to produce a few
Carp but again it's a waiting game. |
|
Leland Water has had less than a handful
of anglers so results are down. |

All
lakes are now clear of ice |
|
15th January 2012 |
|
Atkins Water has seen some good bags in
the last week but it is very hit and miss.
Roach are now predominating with some really
plump specimens approaching the 1lb mark coming
out. |
|
Magpie is much the same but there are a
few carp showing up as well. |
|
Leland Water hasn't seen many anglers
over the last week but it has produced a 26lb
12oz Common to day ticket angler Neil
Owczarkowski. One of the life members has
also netted a 22 Mirror and a 14lb Common. Pike
fishing remains slow with just 2 fish of around
6lbs |
|
Anglers should note that all the lakes are
frozen and only Lelend has any clear water on
it. I expect this to remain the same until
Thursday at the earliest. Check with Tony
Leadley for up to date info. |
|
Day tickets for Leland Water must be booked in
advance with Tony Leadley 07966 487320. Magpie
and Atkins tickets are available on the bank. |

Leland Water has been hard and not many
have braved the high winds and cold weather.
Only one hardy soul has tried his hand at the
carp and after 3 fishless sessions was finally
rewarded with a 22lb Mirror. A few small pike
have also been caught but nothing of any size. |
|
The high winds have caused a bit of damage
around the lake with one large willow coming
down and blocking off the western end of the Pig
farm. Dave Badcock and Colin Brett have
now cleared the way around the lake, but anglers
are warned to beware of damaged branches hanging
precariously from nearby trees. We hope to
have the danger area cleared during this coming
week. |

Magpie Lake has been very
quiet especially the number of anglers fishing.
A few of those who have fished have caught
reasonably well with several bags of carp in
excess of 20 fish. A few nice perch have
also figured in the catches. Len Proctor
yet again has done extremely well considering
the difficult conditions. |
|
Atkins Water is very unpredictable of
late with some days providing so excellent roach
fishing and on other days anglers are scratching
around for a bite or two. Townsends AC
held a match on Atkins on Sunday with the
following result. |

|
Don't forget the AGM is being held on the 23rd
January 7.30pm at the Sun Inn, Waterbeach. |
