Dave
Gladwell's Fishing Tips
 One
of the things we do in the River Closed Season is check our tackle over
and replace some items.
As
it is always a bit of mystery as to how to match all the various line
strengths and hooks the following table is an extraction from "Angling
For All" written and illustrated by Dave Gladwell especially for
beginners and improvers; due to be published in June 2003, and may help
you get it all balanced correctly.
Relative
Main Line Strengths to Hook Lengths and to Hook Sizes Guide
Look
at water and conditions first for a full two minutes before tackling
up. Weigh-up the weather, wind and flow strength to decide the approach
- don't rush the decision.

POINTER FOR LITTER - When you are going to discard line cut
it up into 1" lengths with a pair of scissors first. Do not
leave it to trap birds or other creatures in it. Take it home for
the rubbish bin! Take home empty corn tins too |

Good news for Bungay Cherry Tree is that the
Club have been awarded £350 by the Bungay Town Trust to assist
in the restoration of the Club Pit at Ditchingham in the fight to reduce
and control weed growth.
Viewers
are advised of changes to the Cherry Tree Web entry updating the Current
situation. These include a Safety Policy for the Club and a Child Protection
Officer/Policy at Junior Matches, The full programme of Junior events
will be published next month.
NEW
EXPRESSION OF CLUB RULE AS PER AGM 2003:
CLUB SAFETY & CHILD PROTECTION POLICY: The
Club AGM has endorsed policies, a full copy of which is obtainable from
the Secretary by a written submission and SAE. Additional changed points
are as follow:
Parents/Guardians of Junior Match entrants shall complete a form provided
by the Club at the start of an event.
No Child under the age of eleven years shall be a member or permitted
to be present at the waterside after dusk and before dawn. Children
of eleven to sixteen years of age shall be permitted to accompany an
adult night fishing, providing their name has been endorsed in writing
by the Secretary and appears on the Full Member's own card. Any such
full member shall be wholly responsible for the close supervision and
maintenance of the rules by the young person and absolve the Club from
any resulting legal claims.
No child under eleven shall be more than the next peg's distance from
the Full Member responsible for them at any time for any reason! We
are duty bound to consider the chances of social evils and endeavour
to ensure against their occurrence. All members are encouraged to learn
to swim.
