The next river match is on Sunday, October 21 at Newton. Sport with carp has slowed down but other species are still responding.

BRADFORD PALS AC

Sunday’s match at Raker Lakes (Highbank) is now fully booked. They provide all keep-nets, so you just require a landing net. Car parking is at one end only, so you are advised to bring barrows and trolleys. The draw will be at 9am and there is no cafe on site. Our next match is on Sunday, November 11 and is our Christmas Cheer match at The Oaks, Sessay, on Alders Lake. This is a silverfish match. Please book on before October 31. Anyone who is interested in joining the club for next year should contact Andy Clough on 07810-185862 for a membership application form.

WASHBURN VALLEY

The heaviest fish caught during the week was a 4lb 9oz rainbow trout by Paul Scrimshaw using ace of spades. Fewston & Swinsty: ‘Hard work’ sums up this week’s fishing. Colder mornings and cold water have left fish sitting in deep water. Weighted flies or heavy lines are required to pull trout in to feeding areas. Thruscross: Closed season. Catch details (week ending October 7) – Day ticket: Fewston 15, Swinsty 1, Thruscross (closed season); total fish caught: Fewston 34, Swinsty 9; average per rod: Fewston 2.3, Swinsty 9.0.

Result of Saturday match at Lowfields, Main Lake (19 fished): 1 Steff Armitage 33lb 9oz, 2 Steve Vaughan 29lb 12oz, 3 Derek Milner 23lb 10oz. Section winners: Jason Craig, Graham Hall, Alan Flesher. Thanks to all who have fished throughout the season. Reminder that membership subs are now due as soon as possible. Next season’s match calender will be available shortly from Bernard or Jason.

BINGLEY AC

The next club match will be on Sunday, October 28 at a venue yet to be confirmed. To book on contact A Greenwood on 07971-428678. Rivers are dropping down to fishable levels again and should be worth a try this weekend but care should be taken on the bank side. Good nets of fish are being reported from the canal at Crossflatts and Morton Lane.
