CATCH REPORT TO 27th MAY.

A little more detail is now available about the NASH ROADSHOW,
 in conjunction with the EMPEROR LAKES OPEN DAY.

This will take place on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th June. Gates will open at 10am on both days, and the shows will continue until approx 6pm. Booking in is not necessary, just turn up and follow the parking signs.

All ages are very welcome to come along, meet our friendly staff, and view the best kept secret in the region. However, youngsters must be accompanied by an adult, and for obvious safety reasons, must be kept under constant close supervision, particularly around the lakes.

All visitors are welcome to look around the lakes & pools. These provide our anglers with general coarse fishing, to specimen carp angling, and predator fishing at the finest catfishing venue in the South West of England.

There will be demonstrations on the lakes by Nash staff, and advice from very capable anglers and our own coaches & staff. Tuition will be available on both days. Ask and we will help in anyway we can.

There will be a stall selling tackle & bait, and competitions and raffles will take place.

We look forward to meeting all visitors.

A good week, with both main lakes and the coarse pools all fishing well. The season ticket water returns include Brian Male with a mirror of 33.03, plus a gold grassie of 10lbs, and Rob Pierce with a 31.05 mirror. However, best fish of the week was a cracking mirror of 39.08 to Tim Mountjoy. This was taken on Pallatrax bait, which is proving to be extremely effective on all waters. A few twenties carp reported plus a 19lb pike to Mark Owen.
