The 24th of February saw Michel Bigot’s “Etang de Margot” get a boost to its carp stocks. In total 70 large carp to 49lb and 4 Koi were introduced to this prolific venue taking the total stocks of carp to over 400 fish.
The vast majority of the carp were in the high 20’s to low 30’s with the jewel in the crown being a magnificent 49lb common, what a superb fish!!
So now there are two very large commons in this famous lake including the lake record of 66lb.
The fish included:
33x thirty pound plus carp the best specimens were: 49lb, 38lb 6oz, 35lb 8oz, 35lb (Commons); and mirrors of 34lb, 33lb 5oz,
46x twenties from 21lb 5oz to 29lb 15oz and one double figure fish.
Margot already had an impressive head of carp, but these new fish will certainly add a boost to the lake and we fully expect to see some excellent catches in 2009.
