RIVER WEY
Click on pictures to enlarge

August 2006 The River Wey rarely fished these days for some reason. Maybe it is accessability that is putting members off or the presence of the dreaded signal crayfish? Whatever the reason those willing to try it out are having good success with barbel around the 8lbs mark, good bream to 6lbs and chub. In the recent match a good mirror was landed too. Give the river a go, feed steadily and you will probably be pleasantly surprised.

Notes:- Mike reminisces over the last week of the season and shares with us what Godalming waters hold for their members. "In five short and very cold sessions, each approx a half day, I caught the following :- Fourteen Perch weighing over 2lb.8oz., with eight of them over the 3lb mark. The best weighing 3lb.12oz. Seven Chub to 4lb.10oz., a Bream, and two bonus Common Carp of 7lb.6oz and 15lb.6oz."

(07-01-2006)  Barrie Stephens had just four bites but landed three stunning Chub including a new personal best last week (beginning of January). The Chub caught in this order just kept getting bigger: 4lbs 1oz, 5lbs 13oz and finally 6lbs 7oz. Now for the bit you are all dying to know .................. ledgered lobworm on the lower river. Well you didn't think he'd actually say which swim did you!? Congratulations Barrie an awesome catch mate.
