NEW WATER SHARING AGREEMENT

The club is delighted to announce a new water sharing agreement with Littlemore Angling Society (LAS) that enables AOAA members to fish LAS waters in Sandford-On-Thames,.

AOAA Members are now permitted to fish the LAS-controlled stretches of the River Thames in Sandford-on-Thames (areas marked in blue on the map below).

NOTE THAT THIS EXCLUDES THE RDAA STRETCH THAT LAS MEMBERS HAVE RIGHTS TO FISH VIA A SEPARATE SHARING AGREEMENT.

LAS Members are now permitted to fish the AOAA-controlled stretches of the River Thames in Sandford-on-Thames (downstream of the car park at the bottom of Sandford Lane on the Kennington side).

Members must adhere to all fishing regulations, rules, and codes of conduct set by the club whose stretch they are fishing on. Rules can be found on the respective clubs website. Failure to comply with these rules may result in revocation of the reciprocal fishing rights granted under this agreement and may result in the loss of the guilty members permit.

Bailiffs from AOAA and LAS are mutually authorized to check fishing permits and club membership cards on both club stretches of the River Thames in Sandford-on-Thames, regardless of which club controls the stretch.

Not only does this agreement give our members access to new stretches of water. It also empowers both the Bailiff

teams to work more effectively together to reduce misuse and abuse of fishing rights in the area.

We look forward to seeing your future catch photos and reports!

Tight lines from the AOAA Rivers Team!

We are delighted to have received two Angling Trust Volunteering Excellence awards this month for our contributions to the organisation and running of the recent Angling Trust Tench Masterclass that was held on Dorchester Lake in May.

AOAA River Bailiff and Tenchfishers media team lead Paul Calow was the main organiser for this prestigious event that helps to further the work of the joint Angling Trust Tench Fishing: The Future project, whilst also helping to increase the visibility and exposure of our club and Dorchester Lake to the wider angling world.

Dorchester Tench Social 2024 (21-23 June)

Dorchester
Lake

Thanks to all concerned for the help and support for this event.

Huge thanks to all that participated in this weekend’s Tench Social.

The fishing was surprisingly challenging so very well done to those who caught and especially to Graham Johnson who won both the best fish and best total weight of tench caught.

  • Graham Johnson 11lb 11oz
  • Jamie Johnson 10lb 13oz
  • Jamie Cuzen 9lb 2oz
  • Graham Johnson 7lb 3oz (largest fish)

Whilst the tench didn’t want to play ball this time around the social side of the event was a roaring success with a great group of tincateers embracing the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine, banter and bbq with other likeminded anglers.

Big thanks also to the companies/organisations that kindly sponsored the event through their generous raffle prize donations –

The Tenchfishers, Drennan International, The Hookbait Company, Blake’s Baits, and the TC Conservation Group – your support is greatly appreciated

Marlborough pool – home to a number of 30’s….

Marlborough
Pool

Marlborough pool is currently home of the 30’s, with 5 known fish hitting this weight last year.

The first weekend for new members and a new lake record already… After moving swims, Liam pulled Lizzy from Marlborough pool this weekend at a whopping 33lb6oz!!!….only last month Moonscale was out at 32lb…Its looking good for the new season.

This was backed up by multiple 20s and doubles all around the lake, there were some lovely tench and bream being chucked in the mix too!!

If you haven’t fished Marlborough yet, now could be the best time, as with over 200 Carp, we are sure even more to come.

Just one example, stocked in Noverber 2018 at 9lb, caught this weekend at 26.14

This is just one of 10 stocked by the bailiff and member team with their donations.
Pretty fish and good growth rate. Futures bright!!

Day permits available…buy a permit

Dorchester Lake waking up….

Dorchester
Lake

The lake finally woke up for a period this weekend, with 11 carp and a number of tench landed over a 24hr period.

Matt got his rods out late Friday eve and by breakfast the next morning, pretty much in a 12 hour period saw 7 carp landed…Mind blowing session, usual tactics of boilie, boilies and more boilies…

We say it a lot but they love it, so feed it and plenty of it….don’t forget your 10% discount at Blakes Baits.

A few more in an amazing 24 hours at Dorchester.

In typical Dorchester fashion, come Saturday evening the weather changed, temperature dropped, strong winds rattle the bivvies’ and the fish took cover.
