Re: Woldale
I'm really enjoying reading this again. I was born and brought up in the Lincolnshire Wolds and, as a teenager, even drank in the Black Horse at Donnington and played cricket for my village team on the pitch in front of Hainton Hall. Who knows, maybe I unknowingly rubbed shoulders with some of the greats.

Re: Woldale
Came across this old photograph of a man and boy fishing at Woldale in the 1920's, long before the Carp Catchers Club days. Thought it might be of interest.
The coiled line travels from the reel, it brings up at last, the hook goes home, and then begins the test of skill. "BB"

There is no peace on earth like the peace of fishing in the early mornings

What a tranquil scene. Wish I had a time machine.

Re: Woldale
Me too, it's buggered now. Had the pleasure to fish there once, not allowed to tell the tale though.

I live local to Woldale and was under the impression that it was fished by a very select "invitation only" syndicate who managed the water with diligence.The Sweetcorn Kid wrote:Me too, it's buggered now. Had the pleasure to fish there once, not allowed to tell the tale though.
Whilst the hopes that the Carp Catchers had of it being a match for Redmire never materialised I am sad to hear that it has fallen into decline.
