Help for Heroes match
Newbury
Ten anglers went down to fish the charity H4H match. in Newbury.
​
Newbury angling club put on another successful HELP for HEROES match on the K&A canal at Enborne and Dave Smith from Newbury angling club did a great job organising it.
Adrian Ager won with an impressive 18 lb 02 oz and Mathew Tarrant came second with 15 lb 08 oz which was fitting as these guys have been there since the beginning of the H4H matches.
​
Shipston anglers Stuart Fleming won a section with 5 lb 04 oz and Gary Didcock also won his section with 3 lb 02 oz so Shipston-on-Stour and District Angling Club put up a good show. I think a decent amount of money approx £1000 was made on the day for this Charity open match.

River Stour
​Sunday's Shipston match on the river Stour fished really well.
David Dowland won the match with 12 lb 12 oz , Austin Dawes came second with 12 lb 04 oz and Stuart Fleming came third with 9 lb 14 oz. Luckily the worst of the bad weather missed us and the river was fine and all the anglers caught well. It was nice to see the dace showing which is a good sign as not many have been caught so far this year.

Cotswold Cup Clanfield
​
Sunday's team win in the annual Cotswold cup competition held at Clanfield on the river Thames.
​
Shipston retain the Cotswold cup by winning 6 sections out of 10 . The overall winner on the day was Bryan Morgan and the 5 other section winners were Stuart Fleming ( Shipston captain ), Andy Bruce, Adie Icke, Gary Didcock and Les Ashby.
Pete Morgan, Simon Slowther, Phil Outram and Steve Arthurs made up the rest of the team
​
The Thames fished hard as expected and it was about catching as many small fish as possible and we all endured extreme weather conditions ending with an horrendous thunder storm but luckily the team was up to it and ended victorious.

Fish 'n' Frolics
Ultimate Angler
WINNER!
BRYAN MORGAN
​
Here are the results from week 1 of Shipston A C's Fishing extravaganza.
​
The first week is all about match fishing and this highly enjoyable but extremely competitive 3 day event is all about winning the coveted Ultimate Angler trophy and this year a new name is added to the trophy. Local angler Bryan Morgan took the honor with a near faultless festival coming third on the first day at Aston magna, second on the second day on the river Stour and winning on the third day at Seven Meadows on the river Avon at Stratford with 11 lb 09 oz of chub. His six points was enough to beat Malcolm Barnes's 8 points who also had a cracking festival, it was neck and neck all the way through with a third on the first day, a fourth on the second day and he also managed to win on the final day. Newbury angler Brian Cripps and Steve Arthurs and Aidrian Icke had eleven points and there were quite a few that could have won going into the final day.
The fishing was hard over all the different venues over all the three days this was probably down to it being mega hot on the first day with many anglers wilting under the baking hot sun, this was the hottest day for a long time and it came as a reminder to all of us that we need t take more drinks and wear a high factor sun cream.
​
​
This week we concentrate on the junior side of the event and we offer FREE tuition, Bait and supply and of course the gear each day from Friday to Sunday, Booking in can be done on Shipston Angling website, this is very popular so its advisable to book in to avoid disappointment.
​
THIS Saturday is the highlight of the two weeks with the popular FISH 'n' FROLICS FESTIVAL WHICH STARTS AT 3.00 PM at Shipston Sports club and this FREE ENTRY EVENT has live music, food and drinks, fairground rides plus much more, we have a mixture of music to suit all with headline act J.E.E.P who have recently reformed, top country singer Guy Surtees plus many others. This is our TENTH year AND WE INTEND TO MAKE THIS THE BEST EVER.

6th July 2024

Saturday's match at the Brook near Charlecote, 12 anglers fished and it fished hard on a lot of pegs which was probably due to the weather conditions and rising river..
