LAST Working Party
A number of Working Parties will be held throughout the year & attendance is a vital sacrifice we all have to make. Carp Fishing, today is a fantastic sport which benefits greatly from a spirit of community & vested self-interest between its particpants & our recent experience has shown that 100% of the membership have been willing to give up the odd Sunday Morning, to come and spend a few hours at the lake - grafting in the mud or undergrowth to improve the fishery. Indeed our last offensive was positively enjoyable, & there can be little better way to spend a few hours when we all know the fish have entered one of their quite periods - an opportunity to invest in a project certain to pay dividends in the weeks to come.
Its wholesomely evident at every venue you go to - “anglers just want to get to the waters edge, set up & get fishing just as soon as possible. How many times have we seen the fish rising or jumping on the far side of the water but thought it too much trouble to make the trip round to the far side ? Its not the getting there - its of course the getting back without a pack horse to help. Its is pretty obvious therefore - that the easier it is to navigate your way around the banks - the more likely we are to do what we know we should - and that is “to use our water craft skills to get as close to fish activity as we can. . .” rather than just set up on the most easy to access peg on the lake . ( J &CL - you know what I mean . . .
Peg 1 - come on - with those young legs - the far bank beckons ! :-) ).
Seriously, though - we fish where we want - but it DOES make sense to make our water as well-kept an accessible as possible. The more we do, the better we’ll feel about the lake, and the greater the possibilities become for our joint enjoyment.
Enough waffle for now ? I’ve no gripes - Norman Ward has been leading the way demanding we get on & get things done even before I have - it’s good to have such a pro-active group this year.
