Crowsheath Fishing

Well done toBrian for having this 79lbs monster catfish from our canal lake. He had only been set up for 45 minutes when his half a can of luncheon meat went tearing off giving him a fight and a half for 25 mintes!

AFTER OUR SUCCESS WITH THE COMPETION’S LAST YEAR. WE WILL BE STARTING THEM UP AGAIN FOR EVERY FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH STARTING ON MAY 6TH. SAME RULES APPLY AS LAST YEAR.

It is optional to enter and it is not a serious competition, just a good bit of sport for our anglers if they wish to join in.

Normal day ticket rules will apply
with the option to use up to 3 rods if you choose to pay for 3 rods. It will
start at 9am on the Sunday morning and finishes at 7pm Sunday night.

Entry into the competition will be
charged at £10 per person on top of your normal day ticket. There are 2 top prizes, 1 for the biggest fish caught and also 1 for the most total weight
caught.

So the competition could be won by a single Catfish, Carp or even a keep net full of silver fish. We have around 45 pegs available making the potential jackpot £450 split between the 2 top prizes if everyone joins in.

Every freshwater angler in England and Wales aged 12 years or over

must hold a valid Environment Agency rod licence, or risk prosecution

and a fine of up to £2,500.
