Thank you for visiting the site. Take a look at what's been happening recently on Latest News and Pictures and see what is coming on Fixtures. Let me know about typos (when did they stop being called "spelling mistakes"), misguided links, sliders that don't, images that refuse to enlarge and all the other things that go wrong with websites. I will be delighted to correct it as it is proof that somebody has actually read something on  the site. A warming experience.    Lance    jlanceburton@protonmail.com

Discarded line must  be taken home

If you have to discard some line or if you find some discarded line on the bank or bushes collect it up and take it home to dispose of in the bin as it is a threat to wildlife. Also we have had instances at Wicken's Pool where discarded line has become entangled in the mowing machine. The volunteer who mows the grass says that if people can't be bothered to collect up their discarded line he isn't prepared to carry on mowing it.

One of the features of the fishing at Wicken's is the lawn which surrounds the pool so that in wet weather we may fish without  ending up covered in red marl and in dry weather covered in ants. Show your appreciation of the work done to create such lovely surroundings by collecting up any litter or (especially) discarded line so that we can continue to fish in luxurious surroundings
