Latest catches

GENERAL

It looks as though the fish have stopped spawning (at least for now) on Brasenose-2, Manor Farm and St. Johns. they are still having a little go on Hardwick/Smiths and Brasenose-1 but this looks to be coming to an end.

As of yet I haven’t seen or heard of any spawning activity on the Guys Syndicate but if any members now otherwise please let us know.
