Morgane gets its final stocking of the year – another 12 carp, 4 commons and 8 mirrors, weights between 23lb and 31lb 12oz (the common)

Here’s the Oakview stocking video;

One of the new stockies…

The stocking objective at Oakview 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.

Following on from the 86 carp stocked in November the owners of Blue Lake have just added another 186 carp including; 6 x 40′s, 80 x 30′s and 100 x 20′s. Plus a handful of large grass carp to mid 30′s.

Adding the two stockings to test angler estimates of original stock, we estimate that Blue Lake now has between 350 and 400 carp, with a huge head of 30′s and at least 6 carp in the 40′s.

The Watersmeet owners went to the Bigot fish farm recently (w/c 21st November) & chose 40 carp to add to their lake.

Just 2 under 20lb (both around 18lb), at least 6 good 30′s plus a few more around the 30 mark… & Mick just couldn’t help adding a 40lb’er when Laurent tempted him with one! Rest were all good 20′s.
