Dog Owners – whilst we do not mind members taking their dogs to Goose Green, we do ask that you clear up after your pets and take it home with you, we also ask that dogs are kept on leads at all times and if you are fishing the lead is attached to a brolly pole or similar, at the moment this is a request rather than a rule.
Catch Reports
Goose Green
Ray & Sandy Emery ventured out for the first time in a while, fishing Tench Pond at Goose Green with the waggler the pair recorded a surprisingly low weight, with only small Roach & Rudd coming to their nets, all fish were caught on 4mm expander pellet.
Simon Parker (10 yrs) fished Lake 4 at Goose Green on the 28-7-07, Simon fishing the pole with pellet, corn or pinkie on the hook caught Gudgeon, Roach, Rudd, Bream, Skimmers & small Perch for a total net of 7lb, not a bad catch considering the amount of cold water that has run through the Lake in the past week because of the rain storms, Trevor Mordle was also to be found on Lake 4 perched in his usual spot by the dam wall, Trevor fishing pinkie on the hook caught Perch, Rudd, Roach, Skimmers & Bream, unfortunately his total weight of fish is unknown.

Goose Green Development
As you will notice of you visit Goose Green, Deep Lake is near enough full of water, following four days of sustained pumping.
The water has been taken from the other ponds on site, which will hopefully recover to their full levels as soon as we get some rain, which listening to it beat on the window as I type this, shouldn’t be a problem, Deep Lake remains closed as there are no fish in lake and will remain off limits until April the 1st 2008, which is our planned opening date, please do not move fish into Deep Lake from the other ponds, as we have a planned stocking policy for Deep Lake that has taken many hours to formulate and the introduction of fish into the Lake will seriously upset the stocking policy we have set out.
