Additional stock at Silverlake
22 January 2026

54 lovely looking 3lb to 7lb C3 carp introduced to Lysander lake at Silverlake today 👏🏼. Fully health checked.
With the amount of small silvers stocked in December & a further stocking of 2 - 4lb bream & 2 to 4lb carp due next month.. spring/summer sport is looking promising 👍🎣
 

Grayling season - a good start
4 November 2025

1st 2lb (ish) of the season from Worgret.
The river levels are still low for this time of year & the flow is steady with a hint of colour.
Plenty smaller fish being reported at Wool, best recorded so far is 1lb 9oz but that will change!
Enjoy if you go but be careful & remember to let someone know when to expect you home if on your own & refresh yourselves on the specific requirements.
👍🎣🙏

Outlet pipe repairs at Sharnhill
29 October 2025

Carried out some serious outlet repair work at our nice little ‘Sharnhill’ pond today. Water had been leaking out around the outside of the pipe causing the levels to drop below the expected level. This work should solve it & give us an opportunity to raise the level a bit.
Big thanks to Jim, Mark, Lee & Chris. 🙏

Reference: Junior members inclusion in Senior members competitions
16 October 2025

Dear Members,

Following recent instances of miscommunication, misunderstanding & misinterpretation, the committee wishes to clarify the current rules and regulations regarding Junior member participation in Senior angling competitions. 

Please note that a small number of amendments will take immediate effect and remain in place until the conclusion of the 2025–26 Society year:

1.    Participation: DDAS Junior members are permitted to enter Senior angling competitions at the same match entry fees as Senior members. *NO CHANGE*

2.    Prizes and Awards: Junior members are eligible to receive any prize monies and society trophies awarded for competition wins or runner-up placements. *NO CHANGE*

3.    League Points: Juniors will be awarded league points earned in any points-based competition. *Amended from the previous rule agreed in 2017*

4.    Booking Procedure: Juniors are no longer required to wait until the Thursday before a competition to book their place. Previously, priority was given to Senior members due to limited spaces at smaller venues. *Minor change*

5.    Competition Conduct: All Junior members must adhere to both society and Senior match rules, including the requirement to bait, hook, play, and land their own fish. Additionally, any Junior member under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian for the duration of the match. *NO CHANGE*

6.    General Compliance: All other rules and regulations outlined in the DDAS Members Handbook remain in effect at all times. *NO CHANGE*

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
The DDAS Chairman and Committee
