Private Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 5th October 2025
For the rescheduled final round of Ruthie’s Cup, my group was at a little syndicate lake we were very kindly allowed to fish for this charity series. A proper little Crabtree venue that contains lots of tench and crucians plus some decent bream and loads of quality roach, rudd and perch, even better there are no carp, my idea of heaven! We …

Clivey Fishery – Ruthie’s Cup – 29th June 2025
For the penultimate round of Ruthie’s Cup it was our turn at Clivey, a cracking little venue (which I last visited in 2011!) that I used to fish quite a bit with Les and the Chard boys. We went to ‘Spoons in Warminster for breakfast which was really good before heading to the fishery. Chris’s better half, Helen (or Val according to …

Dillington Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 15th June 2025
For round two of Ruthie’s we were at Dillington and after finishing second in my section at Hebditch’s, nothing other than a win would do today as I’m sure you’ll need maximum points or there’s an outside chance three wins and a second might sneak in. Pegs 1 or 2 are normally the swims to draw so when I opened my little …

Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 1st June 2025
Ruthie’s Cup is now in it’s fourth year and HRH has taken over the reigns from the Grand Wiz with the four match series now taking place on four different venues with very varied fishing and will make for an interesting contest.

The final round of Ruthie’s Cup arrived and there were five anglers still in with a shout of winning, Roy and Nick were both on 11 points with Burnsey, Craig L and Harry all just a point behind. The draw would be crucial and the stand out pegs in each section so far had been 14 at Thorney and 3, 4 and …

Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 23rd June 2024
For the penultimate round of Ruthie’s Cup we were back at Hebditch’s Pond, we met at The Ranch for breakfast which was lovely although somebody rushed off without paying, not mentioning any names but the rumour was he couldn’t wait to get to Thorney for Nudefest! With several anglers on 7 points, I was in the chasing pack on 6 but would …

Round two of Ruthie’s Cup and we were at Hebditch’s Pond, we all met at The Ranch for breakfast and were well looked after by Kirsty before it was time for the draw. It was pegs 12, 1, 2 and 3 for us this week with everyone hoping to draw 3 which along with 4 in the next section have been the …

Thorney Lakes – Ruthie’s Cup – 19th May 2024
Last year we fished Ruthie’s Cup in memory of Chris’s daughter for the second time and we raised a tidy sum of money along the way. It was held on Wednesdays and a few people struggled to fish all four rounds so this year it would be held on Sundays so hopefully everyone could make it. In another change, along with twelve …

Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 7th June 2023
For the penultimate round (the last one for me as I can’t make the final match on 21st June, stand ins are allowed so if anyone would like to fish, please get in touch) of Ruthie’s Cup, we had six fishing (well five and half as Norts was going to be a bit late). The Fabulous Five met for breakfast and with …

Hebditch’s Pond – Ruthie’s Cup – 24th May 2023
For round two of Ruthie’s Cup, we had a severely depleted turnout due to people having other commitments but the decision was made to go ahead as people had booked days off work and also a lack of other suitable dates. We met at the bowling club and had a lovely breakfast (thanks Drew). After a random open draw for the first …
