YES, IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, THE ORIGINAL…

Zander Match

SPONSORED BY HARRIS-SPORTSMAIL

Saturday September 18th 9am - 4pm. Ham Island, Tewkesbury

This is one of the best zander water in the UK, twice we have had zander in excess of 10lb caught in these matches, and the record zander came from this stretch of the river Severn. Ham Island is an unusual fishery in that the Severn and Avon meet, also round the island are two weirs, so take your pick, fish the Severn, Avon or stick with the Mill Stream, they all produce zander. Harris-Sportsmail are again sponsoring the event so there will be good tackle prizes to win. Also this year any LAS member catching a double figure zander and getting good photographs, Harris will give £100 of tackle vouchers to them!!! Salmon have been caught on these matches but must be returned. Entry ticket including day ticket is members £10.00, non members £14 (if you join on the day you save £4 off your membership). Juniors under 16 fish for free but must be accompanied by an adult. Prizes for best zander to two places, best bag of zander to two places.

Directions, Come off the M5 motorway at Junction 9, Tewkesbury, take A438 into the town, go straight on at the war memorial in the town centre. A minutes drive and you will see the Abbey on your left, a few hundred yards further on and on the right is the car park, bring some change for the parking.
