I quite often get sent a nice selection of photos plus letters from our members so decided to dedicate a page on the site to the comments thoughtfully passed on by others... presenting Members Moments...

All the fish are lure caught using a 6"6 bait-casting rod and mini multiplier from the Chesterton to Clayhythe stretch of the cam..

The 3.8 pound perch was this season early morning second cast of the day :-) and hit the lure so hard he nearly swallowed it,  a new personal best: - the forceps in the photo are 10 inches long so the perch was 15-16 inches

The file with the strange name is of a chub of over 2 pounds also caught this season the perch that's in the photo stupidly swam into my landing net as I netted the chub was really funny. about 5 Min's later I had 2 massive carp swim past me right at my feet they were both well over 20 pounds I didn't even know there were carp that big in the cam.

The other two photos are of fish I caught out the same stretch of the cam between 2000 and 2002 that I thought might be of interest my personal best 16.5pound pike and two 14+pound pike , a 3.1pound perch and a chub of just over 4pound (I've only recently taken up fishing again after a long break and the first thing I did was renew my membership to this great club as I love the nice selection of waters available especially the rivers).

I haven't had much luck with pike this season yet but its early days , I do seem to be catching a huge number of perch to 2+ though and chub to 3+ so cant complain :-)

Thanks for listening I hope the photos attached are useful for the website as I really enjoyed catching these fish :-)
