The following day at Summerhayes we were on Sellicks but with 23 anglers fishing and nearly every peg in, I thought it might be a difficult day for most. It was great to catch up with Steve Raybould who I used to fish with back in the Sharp Match Group days and has just got back into it. I was around midway …

A double header at Summerhayes this weekend kicking off with Saturday on Sellicks, I was near the top of the list and drew peg 2 at the near end. It wouldn’t have been my first choice as it’s a narrow swim but hopefully I should still get a few bites. It was the usual sort of approach feeding three lines at 10 …

After a fantastic January, this month has been, to put it bluntly, absolutely pants! If I’m not drawing crap pegs, I’m making a complete hash of good ones and also losing more than my fair share of fish along the way. Twelve of us on Sellicks today and I was near the bottom of the list so when Pete called me up, …

For the next silvers match on Sellicks there was a decent turnout of ten, draw time arrived and I was fourth on the list and pulled out 24 which wouldn’t have been my first choice but at least I’d managed to avoid 12 where I’d struggled on my last two visits. I had Roy next door on 22 while Alex had drawn …

The final outing of the month was a Saturday silvers match on Sellicks, eight of us fishing today and the only peg I really didn’t want was 12 at the top end and I may have mentioned it once or twice! I was third on the list behind Rog who pulled out number 24 and Nick who was happy with 6, I …

Sellicks on Sunday and I was hoping for one of the pegs down the arms of the lake, preferably on the near side (2-8) although I’d happily take the opposite bank (16-22), I just really didn’t want to draw the top end and of course pulled out number 12! We were also in for a very wet day (just for a change!) …

Although we had a frosty start yesterday it actually turned out to be rather nice, the forecast for Sunday was a much more miserable prospect with strong winds and rain predicted all day! A dozen hardy anglers in attendance and Pete said we could have another rover so people could try and pick swims to afford some respite from the elements. For …

With sub zero temperatures and frozen lakes again it was no surprise there was a depleted turnout of only eight fishing today including Summerhayes very own version of Daniel Craig who apparently likes his coffee ‘shaken not stirred!’. We were on Sellicks today and with the far side iced over, Captain Pugwash (aka Adie), took to the boat to break it up. …

Summerhayes was the destination for my first match of 2026 and after a hard frost there was quite a bit of ice on Sellicks. With only eight of us fishing Pete said we could have a rover and choose where we wanted to go, when it was time to draw, I got choice six which was also the golden ball (although there …

The following day we headed to Summerhayes for a match on Sellicks and when the draw was announced I was hoping for a peg on the far side and got my wish when I pulled out number 22. For company I had Glynn on 24 with Alex to my right and Nick had drawn peg 8 on the opposite side. In recent …
