BRADFORD NO1 A.A.

Following the storms over the weekend, water levels are likely to take some time to return to normal and banks are likely to be treacherous.

At Knotford, the river joined the lake but the fence held firm to avoid any fish loss, although it will likely take a few weeks for the lake to return within its banks. The Charity Open match at Cowthorpe had to be cancelled.

Due to the riparian owner selling the land, we will no longer hold the fishing rights on the River Swale at Topcliffe from March 1, 2020.

Any information as to fishing rights which are available would be gratefully received and followed up by the committee. Please contact any member of the committee (details in the yearbook) or email: ask_us@bradfordno1.com

Annual night permits have now sold out for 2020, with details on how to join the waiting list for next year on page 21 of the yearbook.

Club membership is still available from the usual outlets.

BINGLEY ANGLING CLUB

With the River Aire still high and a warning of high winds and more rain this weekend, Sunday's match has been cancelled and will be fished later in the year.

Anyone who does venture out, please take care on the banks and keep safe.
