Many fish farmers are aware of the benefits of having a controlled fish feeding program across their stock pools. Feeding a quality pellet little and often has been proven to return a better feed conversion ratio. This is the relationship between the weight gained by the fish and the amount of food fed. This ratio […]
Here’s the experience of the Joy Lake owners, Neil & Caroline Surely a simple question of pulling out the plug and then letting nature fill it up again? But what do you do when you have no ‘spring-fed’ water source into your lake? Waiting for the rain to fill it up would take months, so […]
63.09 Congratulations to Paul Cummins on his 71lb 12oz mirror, Patrick smith for his 63lb 9oz and Mr Sawyer for his 62lb and his wife’s 54lb!

Having had Genets netted recently I thought I would put together a few words from my own point of view on the importance as part of ongoing fishery management to carrying out regular netting. We first had the lake netted in Oct 2006 to remove the bulk of the silverfish when nearly a ton & […]
I go to France with my family several times per year. To keep them sweet I don’t fish during the day, but go out sight seeing, shopping, markets, swimming lakes etc. At first I thought this would be a disadvantage, but actually my results have improved. If the water is easy I just fish evening […]
In this post David Harding explains why he recommends running rigs on his lake; You can imagine my thoughts when asked to write an article on the running rig, firstly by trying to remember when I first used it. My mind went back to as far as I can remember to Lincoln 1958 and it consisted […]
