The wet and windswept group just prior to leaving for home Molyneux Report to 20th October 2012…  After our week with no anglers and despite the almost continuous rain we had managed to make a start on the winter projects we had set ourselves. This is what many people fail to realise about our job, when […]

Dave Moore with the Big Lin at 42lb 4oz Molyneux Report to 15th September 2012… This week’s anglers arrived all together at around mid-morning. Dave phoned to say he and his mate Richard were at the main gate, and asking if I could let them in. By the time I had walked round to them, the […]

Molyneux Report to 21st April 2012 The Dawson party, were packed and away fairly sharply in the morning. Helen and I busied ourselves preparing for the next group of anglers. They arrived around 10.45am, once the cup of tea was out of the way we had a good look around the lake. The party consisted […]

James Wilcox with Big Lin @ 45.02 Hi David, Please find attached a picture of my recent capture of ‘Big Lin’ from Molyneux in April 2012. She came out a week earlier at 46lb so did not make lake record for me by a few oz’s … but I think you will agree that she […]

46.08 Our first anglers of the season arrived on Saturday (17.03.12) – a party of six anglers and one non-angler. One of them, Sam Bowers, wasted no time at all, and within 8hrs of casting out, the first carp of the season proper was on the bank….. and what a fish! Affectionately known as the […]

A Frozen Molyneux Well the temperature dropped to -9 overnight here at Molyneux and the cold stiff Siberian wind dropped off causing the lake to freeze up. It is currently -5 outside, although the skies are a gorgeous blue.  It really is a beautiful sight! This is only the second time I have seen it […]

Molyneux in its winter clothes Well like most of Europe we are feeling the biting Siberian winds over here at Molyneux. Temperature today is -4 with a wind chill it is nearer -11… and after our wander around the lake this I can confirm that it is truly bloody cold. Thankfully the lake is still […]

Well finally our first year at Molyneux is drawing to a close. Helen and I are busy making ready to head back to the UK to spend Christmas and the New Year with friends and family. It has been a fantastic experience, one which we wouldn’t have swapped for the world. We have worked very […]

Molyneux in its Autumn colours The Molyneux bailiff, Wally, tells us about an October overnighter; It has been rare this year for the lake to be devoid of anglers, so when recently I found myself with the lake to myself it was too good an opportunity to miss. We were busy strimming brush and cutting […]
