Cheshunt based Joe Hurding aged 9 pictured left with a net full of fish on a very Sunny Sunday, and along side him Crawley based Adam Funnel aged 10 gave his dad a tuning on there recent EDF club match...

I know the weather's not great but the fishing is as good as it gets, a bit overcast a bit of rain, alright alot of rain but the place is fishing as good as it ever has, carp and tench are plentyful and good size fish as well, so get them umbrellas out and get on the bank...

Here's a pic of my old school mate Paul Wallis with a 12lb mirror caught on a 25mm, i think you'll agree the fish is far better looking than him.
