An
Extraordinary
Year 2020 !
Thank you for your enquiry, it gives us great pleasure to provide you details of our Specimen Carp Membership, which runs from the 1st
January to the 31st December. Our membership fee is £50pa, in addition you will then pay each time you fish, please see attached fishing charges,
permitted fishing times and our fishing rules. Should you wish to apply for membership, please fully complete the attached membership form
giving us as much information as possible, particularly regarding your fishing experience, so that we can positively consider your application. Lastly,
please do not forget to include two passport photographs, and your membership fee, which can be paid by cheque or by credit card over the phone.
You will be aware of the extraordinary year we have all experienced, which has affected all our lives. However, on a positive note, we now
appear to have a vaccine and there is finally hope for a return to some normality as we head into what we all hope will be a brighter and safer new
year. Looking back at 2020, I have to say how humbled we are as a business to have survived, given the many businesses that have failed through
no fault of their own due to COVID. The Angling Trust have done a sterling job throughout this pandemic getting angling back up and running so
quickly following the first lockdown, and in getting the Government to agree to allow angling to continue through the second. For any of you who
are not yet members of the Angling Trust, please consider joining as the cost is negligible and they really do promote angling at the very highest
levels of government for the benefit of all anglers.
Despite this very strange year, it has surprisingly been another great year for catches topped by two forties, Double Row and The Box Common,
with two further known fish hovering around the magical forty pound mark.
As usual, here are some Notable Catches from 2020, including large, small and multi catches …
January 2020 started with a BANG! - with Temple regular Matt White banking Double Row at a whacking 40lb 14oz, which was quickly followed
by a 24lb common. Andy Hall also caught a cracking winter mirror over the Christmas period weighing 29lb 6oz, which was followed by the stun-
ning 'Fully Scaled' weighing 27lb 10oz. Alex Harris also got off to a fl ying start landing a fi ne Mirror of 34lb 5oz. Turning to the Old Lake, Chris Bean
managed 4 fi sh including a 22lb common.
February saw Matt White bank two more fi sh from Temple, a 34lb 2oz Common and 28lb 14oz Mirror. New member Jason Vanarkadie reported

SCC Fishing Rules
Our rules have been carefully thought out to protect the quality of our fish, wildfowl and members enjoyment.
Whilst many of our rules are common sense, it is important that anyone applying for membership fully under-

1. Fishing must be for CARP only, targeting other species, particularly at night is strictly forbidden.

However, prior notice will be given where possible and an alternative booking date offered.
4. Please display your car pass in a prominent position on the dashboard of your vehicle at all times when on the
fishery– vehicles not displaying a car pass will be deemed to be intruding and dealt with accordingly.
5. Night fishing is a lock-in, except in cases of emergency; you are expected to remain by your swim and not to walk
around the fishery. Under no circumstances should you have visitors or fast food deliveries once the fishery has
closed as they will be turned away. However we do allow fast food deliveries during the winter months provided
that this is before 20.00 and that you have informed the bailiff.
6. Ticket prices assume the use of two rods only, a third rod ticket may be purchased costing £5.
7. Nets and unhooking mats must be dipped when entering the fishery; dips are located close to all lakes.
8. Parking - anglers fishing Temple should drop their tackle off along the road bank and immediately move their car to
the car park. Anglers on the Old Lake should leave their car in either the main car park or at the barn. Please do not
