Over the last 12 months, the committee has been very active on the behalf
of the club members
First the club has acquired two new waters the first
one is 16 miles of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal running from the Anchor Inn
at Salterforth bridge No151 to Shuttleworth Hall near Hapton bridge No 119 the
second water is Heasandford lodge Burnley
The other good news is the club
after about 15 years are starting a junior section in conjunction with the local
police force, who have also donated some fishing tackle to the club, the club
will be running some courses to learn juniors how to fish, handle the fish safely
and to be safe around water. So if you would like to learn, you don’t need any
tackle to start with as the club can supply some for you to try on the day
Please look out
for notices for these courses which will be starting fairly soon.
