Packington Somers Fishery has announced its match schedule for Christmas and the New Year with opens taking place on Little Geary’s on Saturday December 24th and Wednesday 28th, plus a match on Gearys on December 31st and another on Molands on December 2nd.

It’s been quite tough going on the water in the last week, as it has been almost everywhere, with the top weight Steve White’s 30lb bag from Little Geary’s on Saturday from peg 11.

However, the forecast is for milder weather so expect catches to pick up. Contact the lodge on 01676 523833 for further details or check out the website at www.packingtonestate.net .
