Frisby Workparty

Thanks to all that turned out on Sunday morning for the Frisby work party. there was a good amount of work completed on most of the lakes with quite a lot of slab adjustment on Smiggies and on Colver.

The disabled pegs on Colver have been made more accessable.

The Island on Colver has been given a good haircut.

The next Workparty will be on Kilworth Complex next Sunday 7th June Please turn up if you can spare a couple of hours it really makes a difference to what can be achieved.

The after work Match was held on Jasons and Paul Slatcher won with the outstanding weigh of 161lb 15oz from peg 14. Baz Johnson second with 41lb 13oz from peg 10. Third was Gaz Goowin from peg 17 with 22lb 13oz. Keith Macfarlane, totally knackered after his work on the Island, fourth with 19lb 4oz.

Colver Improvements

The Chairman, Alan Smith, has asked me to let members know that Colver Lake is going to have a “Hard Standing” path about 1.5meters wide installed around the whole lake. This is going to be started in the very near future, (either Monday 1st June or the following week depending on the contractor finishing his current contracts) We have asked if he can do one side at a time so that Members will be able to carry on fishing on one side of the lake whilst the work is ongoing. But there will be obvious disruption to some extent so please be patient. We have been told that the work should take around seven days or so to complete.

Futhermore we are asking Members not to use the first small car park opposite Sanctuary, as the contactor will need access so that he can store the spoil on the ground behind it.

Kilworth Work Party 24/5/26

A very disapointing turnout that came to the work party at Kilworth. Eight I believe. Thank you to those who did make the effort and worked hard in the heat.

Two fished Currans after. Keith Macfarlane had one Roach and lost a Carp, the other chap had 2 Gudgeon.

There were a few carp cruising round! Thousands of Roach and Perch fry about.

 We attempted to drag the weed in admirals. There was too much weed with so few to help!

Managed to drag loads of weed out of Currans, in the early numbers, also did a bit of tree trimming round the lakes, it was a bit hot phew.

Frisby Work Party

Thank you all that turned up for the work party, and all the hard work they put in! a lot was achieved, much appreciated, next week at Kilworth. The main work is weed removing in Admirals, so anyone that has a weed rake please bring it.

Work Party Season

That time of year is now upon us when the work to maintain our fisheries take place.

The first work party of this season will take place on Frisby Complex on 17th May 2026. We would like to remind existing Members and inform new members that Frisby Complex will be closed between the hours of 6.00am until 1.00pm on Sunday whilst the work takes place. No one will be allowed to fish at the Complex between these times unless you have helped with the work. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. Anyone found to be fishing when the work is due to start will be asked to pack up and leave.

The work is all done by Club Members so it would be really appreciated is as many as possible could turn out to help. There are free refreshments for all helpers and the more that turn out the quicker the work gets done. No one will be expected to do anything beyond their capability. Most people arrive at around 8.00 to 8.30.

It would be great to see some new faces.
