Brown Trout
This record was set in 2000 by club angler Tim Smith. He was fishing a detached body green buzzer and gave an excellent 50 minutes fight. The tail was like a shovel and was a truly grown on Fish.
10lbs 2ozs caught by Tim Smith in 2000.
Rainbow Trout
The 12lbs 6ozs fish caught by Paul Moore in 1996 was beat in 2000 by a magnificent rainbow weighing 13lb caught by Graham Williams, a Ravensthorpe regular from Swavesey, Cambs. Graham took this super fish on an appetiser on an intermediate line, 100 yards off the fishing lodge whilst fishing in the fur and feather match on 5th November 2000.
13lbs Rainbow caught by Graham Williams in 2000
