Electro Fishing 2008
Today we electro fished the river to remove the unwanted pike. Conditions were fantastic, although a strong and rather cold down stream wind made the morning feel very chilly.

We started at Lower Bockhampton and fished up to Loud’s Mill, where we encountered similar numbers of pike as last year, as were the numbers of trout. After 4 hours of hard work it was time to enjoy the other annual event “Electro Curry” lunch. Kev’s curry was a winner as was John’s chicken VB.

With plenty of extra warmth, we continued up to Blue Bridge, on the way we turned over a multitude of excellent trout & grayling and very few pike – a splendid day.

The Club
The Club is a private one, founded in 1877, of approximately sixty-four members and six Town Rod subscribers. The Club’s waters consist of about 12 miles of wild brown trout & grayling fishing in the main River Frome, River Cerne and River Piddle, together with attendant carriers and side streams. The waters extend both above and below the town of Dorchester and the Club employs a part-time keeper.
