I was looking forward to this for a long time, all through the very cold bitter winter England was having. The dates crept up and before I knew it there were 2 weeks until the trip. So the preparation began. Rigs were being tied, reels were being spooled. I was preparing for a week of action at Morgane. Joining me on this trip was my Dad Glenn, and our friend Dave; we had the lake exclusive for the first session on Morgane for 2013. We were all very excited and hopeful of a few fish being banked.

Friday night came round very quick, I finished work and I knew I had a week of fishing to look forward to. Luckily a lot of the hard work was done; the van was loaded with the majority of the gear. continue reading…

If you are fishing at Morgane this year, you couldn’t have timed it better. Owner and fish farmer Laurent Bigot has just introduced 7 more virgin carp into the Morgane carp lake. Each one weighing between 36 and 40lbs.

A nice bit of icing on top of Morgane’s already impressive cake!
