Club nears membership limit

December 05, 2014/ Richard Mander

As we welcome Darren Bell, Richard Hemming and Terry Gibson to the club I'm pleased to be able to report membership at record levels since the 1970s. We maintain a limit of 40 to ensure that the waters are not overfished. The fact is that it's still rare to bump into another angler on the banks which is the way most members and landowners like it.

The latest effort saw the focus switch to preparing some coarse fishing swims on the Upleadon section. These should fish well through the autumn and winter.

"Ruddy Heck"

A big apology to an unnamed member of our club! You know who you are. When he included a couple of Rudd in his recent catch return we were a bit skeptical at GAC HQ.

New Round Up

May 27, 2014/ Richard Mander

The Leadon has been fishing very well over the last 3 weeks. Great Mayfly hatch on all stretches and a record 16 fish from one 3 hour session at Durbridge to “you know who”!

Clean our rivers! #yarnbonb #tuffleyavenue #environmentagency
Amazing effort from our volunteers at Durbridge Mill today. They braved the awful weather to work with our tree surgeon felling and coppicing dead and diseased alders. What a team! #habitatimprovement #environmentagency #alders #coppicing #riverleado
Great use of woody debris to transform a full width blockage into a fish holding feature. #habitatimprovement #riverleadon #woodydebris #woodydebrisinrivers
Great team effort at Durbridge last week converting a huge blockage into a feature that’s perfect for fish and fishing! Thanks to @envagency for support #fisheryimprovementproject #anglingimprovementfund #habitatimprovement #riverleadon #gac #t
Ingenious work by our member Barry Townsend to improve river access at Upleadon. #riverleadon #gac #anglingimprovements
New funding win from the Environment Agency will finance tree felling of dead Alders and blockage clearance at Durbridge Mill. Check website blog for further details. https://www.gloucesteranglingclub.co.uk/blog/2023/8/10/new-funding-from-environment
