A reminder that this site is now sponsored by
Queensway Angling of Hemel Hempstead.
Each month,
Queensway Angling are offering special offers exclusively to VAC members.
This month they are inviting you to refresh your reels
Mention the
VAC website and get 15% off most reels in stock.
Ask Mark nicely and he'll also do you a deal on all the line you might
need.
Remember, Queensway Angling offer a large range
of major brands - just phone 01442 254 723 for a quote.
Talking of line, Queensway still
have ample stocks of Silstar Match Team.
This was one of the first 'cult' lines
and is brilliant for waggler fishing and for match carp. Silstar have gone
bust along with DAM so once it's gone it's gone.
Working Parties - Last call for working
parties. Contact the bailiff of the venue(s) that suit. Please phone at
sensible hours (6pm - 9pm is usually best).

New Waters & New Fish
|
The club is
always keen to extend the waters it controls and, at the
time of writing, we are negotiating regarding access to two
different river venues:
Full details
will hopefully be ready for publication by the time the river
season starts so check back here frequently.

all our fisheries just click here.
Members are reminded that guest tickets are readily
available for most VAC waters. Contact either Ash Adams on
01442 216301, Barry Killinger on 07966 394717 or Tony Williams
on 07966 389609 for further details. |
Over two
hundred pounds of tench to 7lb and bream to 5lb pound
were introduced to the Car Park Pool at Frogmore last
month.
These were in
addition to around two hundred pounds of quality roach,
crucians, perch (to over 2lb) and bream split between
Riverside and Frogmore.
Also
news from Smallford last month of some small carp (3lb
& 6lb) being caught which suggest a successful spawning a
few years ago. Have you caught a small carp from Smallford? If
so let us know. | |

Frogmore, both lakes - June 23rd
Marford
(long & short walks), Radwell short stretch, River Flit all
will remain closed due to Foot & Mouth until further
notice.
ALL OTHER
FISHERIES WILL BE OPEN FROM JUNE 16TH.
Obviously,
these fisheries will be reviewed on a weekly basis and hope that
they will be re-opened as soon as possible.
It should be
stressed that all members visiting ANY of our fisheries in
particular at Felmersham and Radwell that they follow sensible
precautions when visitng these waters.
For example,
keep clear of any animals and do not under any circumstances visit
the fishery if they have recently been to an infected
area.
Frogmore 2000; sun, rain & memories by Kate
Godding
I awoke to a beautiful summers day in July
of last year. After the
usual 'wakeup' cup of tea and long relaxing shower, Dave and
I sat at the breakfast
table discussing our plan of action for the day. It was a tossup
between shopping in Watford and a leisurely days
fishing.

Any articles, photos
and comments would be welcome. With a thousand members I'm
sure some of you must be capable of producing some quality
photos of fish from club waters.
Two contributions this
month, a nice 20lb common by Nick Marsh and a 24lb mirror from
Smallford by young Andrew Killinger.
 
You still have a chance of winning a PC for the best
contribution.
Just send to me via email if you can (or email for a
postal address) something suitable for this web site and the
best entry received by the end of June will win a previously
loved Compaq PC.
