Andrew Archer Memorial 2026

Venue : Oaks. Lakes: Ash and Beech. Date: 6th August, 2026. 14 fished. Weather: Cloudy, windy, 18C.

 

Venue Specific

Buy fishery feed pellets from the tackle shop. Breakfast/food and drink are available at the onsite cafe.

70 lbs net limit (bring plenty of keepnets) - Tom is strict and will knock you back if you go over this limit or wipe out your net.

My rule of thumb is try and estimate your weight of each fish and use a clicker to accumulate the weight and don't go over 55lbs per net.

 

The Draw

The draw will be inside the cafe as a rolling draw between 8am and 8:30 am. Please pay on well before this time please. This website will be updated with the results after the match, peg numbers and anglers will be posted to the Auld Yorkshire Tykes Facebook page after the draw.  Both Ash and Beech will be in the draw bag and thus you could be on either lake.  Good luck and enjoy the day!

All pegs are available to park behind.

Match Fees

I require the peg fee (£13) ASAP as it is open to all who knew Andrew and not just current club members. Current members have first refusal and can reply in their match booking form.

Cost: £20 on the day of the match. £10 of this goes to a nominated charity, £10 towards payout.  Please bring correct money please.

The Match

Please lay your nets out to dry (weather permitting) and don't put them in the lake until 9:45 am

Fish 10am - 4pm.

See fishery rules board.

 

The Weigh-in

The fishery will weigh you in.  When the scales man arrives at your peg, the requirements are that you take your net of fish out of the water and place your fish in the fishery weigh sling positioned by the side of your peg.  Should you not be able to take the net out yourself a pre-designated club member will assist you by taking your nets out for you. The scales man will weigh them and the weight will be recorded by the club official.  The fish will be returned to the water by the scales man.  Repeat this procedure for each net of fish.

The Results

At the end of the match please wait at the entrance to the lakes for the results announcement and photos of the winners and presentation of the Memorial Trophy.  Any winnings will be given to you in a envelope. The results will be updated on here after the match or the following day.

Thanks to everyone for supporting this event in memory of Andrew Archer the clubs founding member..
