Looking back on 2005 Sharpley has seen a record number of doubles brought to the net, over 360 recorded.
The biggest fish for the year was over 20 lbs caught by Gilesgate\'s Robert Hopper with a superb rainbow of 20Ibs 2oz which fell for his Cat\'s whisker. Steve Appleton from South Shields with a 19 LB specimen caught on a Viva and Seghill\'s John Hawthorne at a whopping 19 lbs.
With twice a week stocking through out the year Sharpley gives all anglers the optimum chance of catching fish from 2lbs to over 20 lbs.
