TWAPS Orchard Farm Match – Match Results – 1st May 2022 – Points Match

Match No. 4 at Orchard Farm, Lake 6

On Sunday 1st May 18 anglers fished Orchard Fram, Lake 6, which is our biggest turnout of the season so far.

I would also like to welcome Richard Higgins who fished his first match with us today and hope to see him again with us.

The match was won by myself with 77lb 11oz of carp caught on method feeder tight to the gap in the rushes on the island. In second place was Paul James on his first match of the season caught 63lb 8oz of carp on the feeder to the the island. In third place was the busiest man in the world on the day, Dael Hall who caught 54lb 10oz of skimmers and a few carp shallow on the pole with maggots.

Also I would like to give a massive well done to Jim Beaconsfield (the “Happy Wanderer”) who worried the other anglers by staying in his peg all day and catching a good bag of carp.

And finally I’m sorry for the tightness of some pegs yesterday at Orchard Farm.

Blue Lake Re-opening Delay – Update

Members.

Blue Lake Re-opening.

As you may or may not be aware, the Blue Lake was due to be re-opened on 1st April 2023.

Unfortunately the re-opening has been delayed for health and safety reasons.

Very recently a skip lorry collided with and damaged the footbridge that crosses the access road to the Blue Lake (near the inner gate), the result of which has made the bridge and the access road unsafe.

The Blue Lake will remain closed to all TWAPS Members until further notice.

Update

EDC (Ebbsfleet Development Corporation) are waiting for insurers to confirm the start date for works on bridge, which is imminent.

We will keep everyone updated

If you have any questions, please use the TWAPS website contact form: https://twaps.co.uk/contact/

Apologies for the short notice.
