Jamie "Bowen" fishing at Oakview this week with his mates Martin, Justin and Michael has just bagged the Oakview record and first 40lb carp with his first ever carpture in France weighing in at 41lb. Jamie's previous PB in the UK was just 17lb and he is "over the moon". This stunning mirror, which has never been caught at Oakview before has been named 'Bobo' by Bowen. Well done!

20 Virgin Carp Stocked
The stocking objective this year is to increase the run rates and the percentage of commons in the lake.
To achieve this, we've selected 15 commons and 3 mirrors from the Bigot stock ponds - all young virgin fish between 15 and 19lb.
And just to ensure that our average catch weights remain high, we've included 2 more big carp.
We've decided not to announce the weights of the two big fish - we'll leave that privilege to the Oakview anglers when they land them.
Oakview anglers can look forward to even more action and more chances of bagging new lake records in 2012.
