The 9^th and penultimate round of the TELALI spring Series was fished at Beniarres on the 16^th April, the water levels are even higher than our last visit with at least a foot more water.

The temperatures are also up slightly but still the fish did not respond, for my self it was a day I don’t want to remember I went 5+ hours without a bite, but at the next peg Paul (Poco Loco) Baxter took the honours which included a Carp of 3.200kg. Well done.

CARP R US MATCH REPORT by Terry Screen

 The venue was at Argos for the 8^th round of the TELALI Spring Series on the 9^th April and it was the first time we had fished there since joining the Federation, it worked out very well having the flags at each end of the match length as none of the matchmen had problems with other fishermen pushing in between them as use to happen.

The temperature is still very low, only 5 degrees on arrival at the Lake, also the water is the highest level I have seen in the past 7 years and it has started to colour up, perhaps this will kill off the blanket weed which extends out along the bottom for at least 7 metres

1^st Paul (Poco Loco) Baxter fishing the pole and paste with 12.830kg

2^nd Ian (Irish Wizard) Delzeil fishing the feeder with 8.310kg

3^rd Ian (from the darkside) Haughton fishing pole feeder and corn with 6.140kg.

The next and penultimate round on the 16^th April is at Beniarres, meet 8.00am at the monument.

CARP R  US MATCH RESULTS by Terry Screen

The rain had finally stopped for the 7^th round of the TELALI Spring Series on Thursday 2^nd April.

The River Segura was at its highest for several years, and from Rojales to Guardamar the river has been dredged and the banks have had there annual reed cutting leaving no hiding places for the fish.

This has resulted in the fish being washed into the old river bed and with the water levels there now subsiding, the fish were left stranded in pools were eventually they would die.

So Bill (The Master) Read of Rod and Reels Club and myself   organised a rescue mission with a dozen fishermen armed with buckets etc and returned the fish to the river.

Fish up to 6lb in weight and approximately 600 plus were returned to safe waters.

Thanks to the lads for all there help.

Results of the Match was as follows

1^st George (Victor Meldrew) Fogg fishing pole and maggot with 7.410kg

2^nd myself Terry (Swing em) Screen fishing pole feeder and maggot with 6.680kg

3^rd Bob (The Major) Rafferty fishing feeder and maggot with 4.250kg.

The next match on the 9^th April is at Argos; meet at the Hotel at 8.00am.

 The 6^th round of the Spring League TELALI Cup was fished at Murcia on the 26^th March.

With the new system and the water already pre-booked through the Spanish Federation, there was no need for the usual early start.

 The water temperatures are now rising and the algae on the bottom is breaking away which is not causing any problems at the moment, so the fishing is now improving with only 2 of the 18 anglers dry netting this week.

1^st George (Victor Meldrew) Fogg fishing the pole and bread punch with 13.440kg

2^nd Den (The Stick) Pick fishing pole and maggot with 8.600kg

3^rd Paul (Poco Loco) Baxter fishing pole and bread punch with 7.460kg

 The next match on the 2^nd April has been changed from Pedrera as it is flooded at present and will now be fished on the match stretch at Benijofar

On leaving home it was 10degrees on the cars thermometer, as we travelled up the mountain to Alcoy it had dropped to minus 1degree and everywhere was white over with frost and you couldn’t see the Lake for fog with the visibility down to 40 yards, but it soon lifted and turned into a beautiful warm sunny day.

TELALI SPRING SERIES 2009

Report by Terry Screen

 Thursday 19^th February saw the 1^st round of the TELALI spring series, and this was fished at Beniarres.

On arrival the temperature was minus 1 degree, and everywhere was white over with frost (That's cold). It soon warmed up as the sun rose, enough for one hardy fisherman Colin (Wish) to take his shirt off.

The match was fished at the dam end of the Lake because the Match length is out due to high water levels, which reduced the number of pegs available.

Paul (Poco Loco) Baxter was 1^st once again with 3.270kg casting 60yds

2^nd Stuart (Flying Officer) Thompson with 1.100kg who once again drew the Golden Peg

3^rd Bob (The Major) Rafferty with 0.630kg,

4^th Terry (Swing em) Screen with 0.340kg all fishing maggot and feeder and no one else caught.

The Round Town News Interclub 3^rd round Match is on the 25^th February and the 2^nd round of the Spring League is on the 26^th February, the venue to be confirmed.

Report by Dave Hoare

This competition has been very kindly sponsored by the Round Town News. This was the 4th round in this 6 series event. The match was held on the Rio Segura and consisted of two teams of 12 a side. Some fish were still in the weeds, cleaning themselves after spawning, which kept the weights down.

There were only 2 dry nets, but over half the field lost big fish. The results were decided on points derived from 4 sections of 6 people. The following were the section winners:

A section    Stuart (Flying Officer) Thompson, with 2.860 kilos.
B section  Austin (Cambridge) Vieth, with 2.660 kilos.

GARY SMITH CHALLENGE CUP

This was held on the Sweetwater and consisted of 2 teams of 6 a side. Again, the outcome was decided on points; this was 2 sections of 6 anglers. The fishing again was patchy with the fish here again cleaning themselves in the weeds. Pete Kerr, who was struggling for a bite, decided to explore the reasons why, and went for a swim to try to resolve the problem; the only outcome was he got very wet and still no more bites.

Section winners as follows:

A section   John (The Boss) Brightling, with 3.5 kilos
B section   Roy (Quiz Man) Buttress, with 1.70 kilos.

This week was the 5th in the series of the Round Town News Challenge Cup, very kindly sponsored by Round Town News, held at Blanca Lake. The day was warm with very little wind, however as always at Blanca, the fishing is a struggle for big fish. Bleak were in abundance all over, so most people managed to get a few fish for points.

The 10th and Final match of the clubs 2009 Summer Series was fished at Pedrera on Thursday July 23rd. 14 anglers competed

High temperatures, strong winds, millions of flies and more rubbish than you would ever see at a council tip made for an exciting finale. It really is unacceptable for anglers to leave all their rubbish at the side of the water.

I personally had another disaster and now have 13 hours fishing at Pedrera for 3 bites.
The results on the day were,
1st. Ian Dalzell.  13.120 Kgs. Carp, Barbel and Bleak on the pole.
2nd. Austin Veith. 7.360 Kgs.  Carp, Barbel and Bleak on the pole.
3rd. George Fogg   6.980 Kgs.  Barbel on the pole.

 The long drive proved to be worthwhile with everyone catching fish and if it wasn't for the near gale force winds the weights on the day would without a doubt have been much higher.

The results on the day were,
1st. Paul Baxter.  18.880 Kgs. Carp on the pole using paste and corn.
2nd. Austin Veith. 16.540 Kgs. Carp on the pole using paste and corn.

Report by Paul Baxter

The 7th round of the Summer League was fished at Pedrera on the 2nd July 2009, 13 anglers competed

The 6th round of the Summer League was fished at Argos on the 18^th June 2009, 16 anglers turned up at the venue to compete.

There is still a lot of blanket weed on the bottom, with big clumps of it floating on the surface as it breaks away.

 First on the day with 25.620kgs was George Fogg, in second place with 24.040kgs was Paul Baxter and in third place was Bob Elms with 20.860kgs

The 5th round of the Summer League was fished on the match stretch at Benijofar on the 11^th June 2009 on what turned out to be another hot summer’s day for the 11 anglers that turned out to compete. Many fish were hooked and lost to the bamboo cane that is growing prolifically in and under the water, lots of anglers fishing the pole lost tackle in the bamboo and one had two sections of pole broken by one of these hard fighting carp taking him into this hazardous growth.

First on the day with 9.320kgs was Barry Homer, in second place with 7.340kgs was Austin Vieth and in third place was Dennis Pick with 5.300kgs

 The 4th round of the Summer League was fished on the Eden Canal on the 4^th June 2009 on what turned out to be a hot summer’s day, and with a lot fewer mosquitos’s than we experienced on our last visit to this venue. The wind was blowing against the flow of the river, making things a little difficult for the anglers fishing to the opposite bank with pole, especially with all the bamboo growth in the river

 A Joint first on the day with Stuart Thompson and Paul Baxter weighing in with the same weights of 7.920kgs, in third place with a creditable weight of 7.280kgs was Austin Vieth.

The 3rd round of the Summer League fished at Beniarres on the 28^th May 2009
