Comments: Michael, thanks for your response. I would like to say thank you to Clive as he did indeed write an exact and fitting tribute to Ray. I for one would like to see the comments section kept as it has always been, 'Ray says'. It would be a superb way of reminding club members of him, and indeed, new members will be able to understand just exactly what he did for the Club and how he is remembered.

Comments: I believe as a mark respects this page should remain Ray says. I hope you will accept that we will do our best to answer all your comments, but we may fall short on the depth of knowledge that Ray had. We will endeavour to answer all comments as soon as possible. Michael

Comments: Mick, thanks for posting such a fitting tribute to Ray and for inviting me to post my own comments. I agree with all you have said, he was indeed a stalwart of the club. Without him the club would not be what it is today. Along with Dennis Noble I can say I could not have wished to have known two better people, through the sport of fishing they both became such good friends of mine. I write his through a cloud of tears as I cant imagine how the club wil be without them. May God smile upon them both, they both deserve all the goodness that the afterlife can bestow upon them. Rest in peace Ray and Dennis, I am forever in your debt for the friendship and comradeship that you gave me, you will both be so missed. Thanks to you both.

Subject: Fly fishing on Calder
Date: 13/01/2008
Comments: Trevor - I too had a 1 day course up @ Bolton Abbey - fished the Calder only a couple of times round Elland at back end of last year, got a couple of small Grayling. I've found a web site - www.calderdaleflyfishing.co.uk which gives tuition on River Calder - might be worth a try. I haven't contacted them yet - probably will when weather gets better/trout season reopens.

Comments: How come I got told by a baliff to kill any pike I catch? I totaly think this is wrong as they are few pike in canal and the river as it is ! Replies: It has been club policy for a number of years not to return pike to club waters. The arguments to return or not to return pike would fill this entire page. It is entirely up to the individual angler concerned to make a decision as to whether or not to return the fish, and that decision should be respected by both sides regardless of personal feelings. Tight lines. Michael

Comments: Hi, Having joined the club back end of year i am looking to further my knowledge, tactics on fly fishing this section. Had one day course at Bolton abbey then practiced along Calder no success, so for new season does anybody do the odd lesson on river fishing i could enrol on to get to grips and put my passion to actually catching the odd trout. Thank you. Replies: Hi Trevor I am probably not the best person to give a bug wafter any advice as I have only been fly fishing once and caught a three pound blue bottle, seriously I would suggest that you have a word with the local tackle shops Calder Angler Supplies Brighouse and A Jewson Halifax as I am sure they will be able to help you catch more fish with their invaluable advice. Michael.

Subject: Pike Fishing
Date: 03/01/2008
Comments: We are a bit thin on pike anglers on the committee just now but here goes for the time being... Replies: Enjoy your catch whilst you can these fish are probably males that will shortly be shoaling tightly in pursuit of the big females prior to spawning There aren`t many in the lake but one or two are BIG and these are a very different quarry. Generally we would argue big baits for big fish ...... your jacks as deadbait would probably do just fine!!!!!!!....wait till it freezes the line to the rod rings ...... fish the deepest parts and hedge your bets with a second rod. Answers courtesy of your local library; Fred Taylor, Bernard Venables, Jim Gibbinson and the ever reliable John Wilson unless you know better? Last winter one of our juniors took (at least) 4 fish to 12 lbs whilst using a second rod to catch newly stocked roach...so perhaps you may wait till this years restocking?

Comments: Its that man again! Bailiff Alan keeps on catching-this fish was part of a 2lb 10oz net in just short of three hours on weds the 3rd Jan It`s that man again Alan with his latest contribution at one pound five oz caught on the weds 2rd jan Clive: At one pound five oz it represents the quality of fish in our canal. Is this the best of the winter or do you know better?
