1 week 1st 40

18/04/2012

1st week of our season we had a lovely young couple fish the lake, Rees & Jade took 36 fish between them to 40lb 6 oz with a couple knocking on the door at 39lb 5oz and 37lb 6oz. Hopefully the winter feeding program will throw up some more lumps in the coming weeks. Best bait last week was 15m New grange topped with half a pineapple pop up.

Nash monster carp cradles

03/10/2011

We purchased 3 of these this season and they have proven to be a great investment. The anglers have said it is so much easier to take care of the fish and also to photgraph them. I would urge all lake owners to use this excellent bit of kit.

just had to add this. I have fished in France for over 20 years and never had a fish off the top, 'tho & behold' Bernie an angler at Happy valley this week just had a 28 on a bit of bread! Hopefully the 1st of many..

1st Week

30/04/2009
The Scotherns were very happy last week both achieving pb's with a total of 54 fish for the week and NO night fishing apart from one evening until 11pm. 8 fish under 20lb were caught including a 6lb ghost koi and another koi of 14lb 8oz, a 15lb 'wildie' and several commons and mirrors between 17 and 19lb. 8 fish over 30lb were also caught. All the 38 other fish averaged 27lb. Bait used was mainly 'spicy tuna' bottom baits but several fish were taken on 'pop ups' They also did well with float fished corn taking some nice 'Crucians' 'Roach' and would you believe 'Perch' on CORN!
