Chairman's Updates 23/06/2026
Our Match Season began at Willinghurst (Old Lake) on the 10th May. Full details can be found in the Match Section. Membership Renewals are now open and fees have been frozen for this season. Go to the Membership Details page on the Website to submit your application online.
I have been carrying out a significant number of updates on the Website and streamlined a few pages to hopefully make navigation easier. You will see that the Fixture List is now located in the the Club Match Schedule Page along with the Calendar and Everything You Need To Know sheet.
I have revamped the Littlestoke information on the More Littlestoke Info page. I will be adding more information where necessary to enhance what is there.
I have also amalgamated the Club Match Rules and Club Constitution into one page to further streamline the site
You will notice a difference in the Match reporting this season in the way the results are presented. Hopefully it will be easier to navigate. Have a look at the re-vamped Match Section .
Have a look at the changes and let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements. I will also be endeavouring to make more use of the What's App Group page after feedback from the membership at Club meetings.
As you know we have now agreed the necessary changes to the Constitution, Match Rules and the new Work Party Risk Assessment as a result of the AGM. These can be found in the Members Area for reference.
SECRETARY'S EARLY SEASON UPDATE
Our season began in May with a match in unseasonally miserable weather at Willinghurst. Some good fish caught and another win for our club champion; Gary while John Tearle’s bag included a tremendous 19.5lb carp.
7th June saw half of club members put in a fantastic shift to get Little Stoke ready for 16th. When you fish the venue this summer spare a thought for the efforts of Neil, Trevor, Gabor, Bob, Steve, Mike, Gary, Phillip, Ric, Ian, Daves A&M and Chris who enjoyed well earned post working party drink and chat at the Perch & Pike in South Stoke afterwards.
Our match season continues with canal venue at Slapton on 14th and our first Little Stoke match is the following Sunday, the 21st.
At the end of April and early June the 2 water tests showed a welcome improvement in water quality. In April we had our lowest ever phosphate reading at the site and although it had increased in June, the Nitrate readings had returned to the long-term average for the site. I’d like to say that that the promised improvement works at South Moreton STW are having an impact, but the more likely explanation is that April’s reading came after a longish dry spell and a long discharge-free period at South Moreton.
Membership renewals are virtually complete and close on 15th June. Levels are holding up well despite the loss of 2 members for health and age-related reasons.
I am looking forward to seeing what the long lay off can deliver for Little Stoke and hope to see you on the bank. We have a wonderful venue which can deliver some memorable days fishing.
MATCH AND TROPHY NEWS

WORK PARTY 07/06/2026
We carried out our first work party of the season at Littlestoke yesterday and thankfully the weather relented to allow to carry out all the work required in record time. Firstly a great big thank you to all those who turned out, particularly those who travelled considerable distance to attend, and amazingly we had in excess of 50% of the membership who gave up their Sunday morning to lend a hand.
As a result of all their hard work tidying up the venue we now have around 40 fishable swims ready for the first match later this month. All our work is done in a sympathetic way to avoid unnecessary damage to vegetation and disturbing nesting birds. We also removed any rubbish found along the way which may have been left after the floods earlier this year. We retired to the Perch & Pike in South Stoke afterwards for well earned refreshments.
I have attached a photograph of most of those who attended minus Chris and Myself.
It also gave me the opportunity to photograph all the swims we managed to create or restore and I will be adding these to the site on the VENUE page in the General area and the MORE LITTLESTOKE INFO in the Members Area to enhance the information available in the Littlestoke information.
