Watford Piscators - Match Information

Watford Piscators runs a busy match programme on a variety of venues.

The majority of matches are fished on club-run stretches of the Grand Union Canal, using all five club sections − Evans, Park‚ Dickinsons‚ Gingers and Moor Pounds. Additional matches also use stretches of the River Gade and some of the clubs lakes. 

On average we run one match every fortnight, usually on a Sunday which attract a significant number of members. Our current match record was set a few years back on Evans Pound with over 85lb of chub, although a 70lb plus weight of bream has also been taken in a match from Moor Pound.
