Ray Storer caught this real beast of a rainbow from Narborough Fishery in Norfolk. A great small water fishery.

Probably the best Brown of the season. This 8lb 5oz fish was caught by youth member Albert Coales at Pitsford in October. A fantastic fish for Albert who is having a cracking year having also qualified for the England Youth Team for next season.
David Moore with a fine 7lb 5oz Brown caught during the AMFC Group 1 match at Rutland in May.
What a start to the season. In the first full month of the new season we already have two contenders for the heaviest fish trophies. Dave Summers took this sleek 6lb 10oz rainbow from Rutland on a buzzer and Tony Smith caught a fantastic 7lb 7oz brown at Pitsford. Will they be beaten? It’s early days yet, but they have certainly put down some good targets.
