                            Scout day at Harpers Ponds

Two groups from the 1st Bishopsteignton scouts, spent a morning / afternoon at Harpers Ponds on Saturday 16th July 2017.
Learning to fish for silvers with a whip pole. Initial coaching was given by qualified club members,
followed by a few hours spent practising what had been learned.
Catches were mostly of roach & rudd, with occasional tench, crusian, or eel.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the new rod licence.

Here is a link for you to read about it.
