THIS MONTH AT THE FISHERY
A lovely calm day on Sunday saw eleven anglers take part in the Open match. Windmill angler John Clark took first place with 28lb 7oz followed by a new name to Windmill, John Fuidge with 24lb 9oz. Well done John on your first visit and welcome. We hope to see you again soon. The Silvers prize went to Windmill regular Steve Jefferies with 6lb 10oz. Well done Steve and everyone who took part. Full results are on the Match Results page. Don't forget, Sunday 26 May will be the first Summer League match as well as the Open.
A big welcome to all new anglers and particularly Glenfall Angling Club member Andy Lord. Really good to see Chris Derrick again, Manager of Fish & Field in Chipping Sodbury taking part as well. Glenfall AC President Graham Millard was in action on the Specimen Lake hauling in a net full of Tench, Crucian and Carp from a corner swim fishing a small piece of worm while Bobby Dalton, a Windmill Carp Lake member, took four double figure Carp along with his mate Joe who had two just under double figures; both fishing on the lead. Steve Pike spent the weekend at the Carp Lake and his haul included a 9lb Common and a 14lb Mirror. Also on the Carp Lake was the new Windmill Lake record holder Gary Bunce with his son Jake. Unfortunately Jake lost 2 good size fish during the night but dad landed 3 good double figure fish. Good to see you all at the Fishery and I hope to see you many more times over the summer. I am looking forward to meeting the 30 plus anglers from Glenfall AC who will be regularly fishing the Silverfish Lake.
Talking of the Silverfish Lake, this is going to be re-stocked this coming week with loads of new fish. I will let you have more details of this when it has been completed. In the meantime, this Lake will be closed until 1 July to let the fish acclimatise and settle. Thank you for your patience and understanding. It will be worth the wait.
The match calendar has been updated with all events now showing draw times and match times. Please let me know if you would like any other information on this site.
If you are not yet following us on Twitter we would love to have you sign up. Follow us on @windmillfishery and be the first to know.
I would like to say that there is plenty of room on the Match Lake to accomodate pleasure anglers every weekend so, if you would like to come and fish the lake without taking part in the Open's or League matches, you will receive a warm welcome.
The sign of a healthy environment is determined by the wildlife. Have a look at our Nature Notes for the Fishery, you will be amazed at the diversity of wildlife living and breeding around the Lakes.
Oh, by the way. I have a new camera now so smile for me and I will put you here on our website.

WINDMILL CARP PRIZE TAKEN
Congratulations to Gary Bunce, a Windmill Fishery Carp Lake member, who landed this superb 20lb 7oz Mirror Carp to win the Windmill £50 prize for the first 20lb plus fish taken from our Carp lake. Gary also landed a 14lb 4oz Common as well during his session on Wednesday 15th May. Thanks for the pic Gary.

NEW! FRIDAY MATCHES
Due to popular demand we have altered the time of our regular Windmill Friday match. This will become an afternoon competition with the draw at 11am and the match from 12noon to 5pm. This leaves time to take the partner out on Friday evening! You'll be popular.
NEW! WEDNESDAY MATCHES
On Wednesday evenings why not come and join in Sean Townsend's Roll-Up? Sean and the Windmill regulars will be fishing an evening match each Wednesday with the draw at 5pm and the match straight after the draw and ending at 9pm. The total cost is just £15. Just roll-up and join in. Match results and photos will be published on the Match Results page
NEW FISH STOCK ARRIVES
As promised, over 50 large Carp have been added to our lakes (see pics). The Carp Lake has had seventeen 15lb plus fish added. Fourteen 10lb plus fish have been added to the Specimen Lake along with one 18 pounder. Twenty three 7lb plus fish have been put in the Silver Lake.
All these fish are a mixture of Common and Mirror Carp and have been thoroughly health checked and certified by the Environment Agency. A Further quantity of Roach, Rudd and Bream will be added to the Silverfish Lake in three week's time. Please note that the Silverfish Lake will be closed until 1 July to allow the fish to acclimatise.
SPECIMEN LAKE OPENING TO MEMBERS
If you would like to become a member of our Specimen Lake we have 14 places available at £70 per person per year. This will be on a day ticket only basis. Please call me on 07805 326772 or see me on your next visit if you would like to join. Click Here for Terms and Conditions.
SUNDAY OPENS, PAIRS MATCHES AND SUMMER LEAGUE
Our normal Sunday Open matches will continue throughout 2013. However, we will be ringing the changes from time to time by including 5 Pairs Matches and a series of 6 Matches for a Summer League Competition. These will run in conjunction with the Open matches so, you can either just fish the Open each week or take part in the Pairs or Summer League if you wish. Click here for a calendar of events.
2 HOUR ANGLING SESSION FOR BEGINNERS JUST £15
Whatever your age, if you would like 2 hours of angling on the match lake to help start your angling career, or as a refresher course, just let me know. For just £15 per person, which covers coaching, peg fee, bait, rod and tackle, we will get you angling in no time. Just call me to book.
THE GOLDEN PEG
Each Sunday we draw for the "Golden Peg". This draw is made between all anglers competing in the match. Whoever wins the draw for the golden peg, and catches the heaviest weight of fish from that peg, wins the pot. Full rules, terms and conditions from me on the day. Come and try your luck.
It was drawn but not won on Sunday 19 May so the pot (£11) rolls forward to next week.
