News from Beaurepaire lake

Jul 2007

Thanks for a great week!, 1st Jul

Hi Bridget,

I would like to send you a big thank you for the competition prize of a weeks fishing at Beaurepaire. I booked the lake and took my brother along as he had never been to France before. We have been back less than 24 hrs and we are already missing the place (especially as its raining here and were burnt to a crisp Ha Ha).

The carp catching virtually started as soon as we got there. There was plenty of fish showing and after a couple of hours I had bagged a couple. That set the tone of the week really, steady catching during the day but not a lot at night (at least we could keep our rest up).

Below is a breakdown of what we caught and I have also attached a couple of pictures.

Saturday: Me: 16lb 8oz, 21lb & 24lb Dave: 14lb 8oz & 20lb

Sunday: Me: 16lb 4oz, 14lb 12oz, 14lb, 18lb, 20lb Dave: 14lb 8oz

Monday: Me: 19lb 8oz, 19lb 4oz, 31lb 4oz, 14lb 8oz, 17lb 6oz Dave: 13lb 10oz, 21lb, 11lb 10oz, 18lb, 22lb, 13lb

Tuesday: Me: 20lb 2oz, 13lb 10oz, 17lb 14oz, 16lb, 19lb 8oz, 15lb 8oz Dave: 17lb 4oz, 14lb

Wednesday: Me: 16lb 12oz, 21lb 8oz, 19lb 8oz, 10lb, 19lb 12oz Dave: 22lb 8oz, 13lb, 17lb 8oz

Thursday: Me: 19lb 12oz, 22lb 8oz Dave: 12lb, 20lb

Friday: Me: 16lb 4oz, 17lb, 12lb, 11lb 4oz Dave: 15lb 8oz. 22lb 12oz, 14lb, 16lb 8oz

In total i had 30 fish for 536lb 4oz and Dave had 20 fish for 333lb 4oz.

My biggest fish was 31lb 4oz and our Dave's was 22lb 12oz.

If there was one complaint, or just to worn others, the place is stuffed with bream and skimmer bream. We caught loads of them and ended up using really big baits to avoid them. I even caught a Pike on 2 18mm boilies.

Dave did achieve one of his ambitions of catching a cat fish, unfortunately it only weighted about 3lb!

Once again a big thanks to you and all the people at angling lines. I would recommend Beaurepaire to anyone wanting to catch fish, i would even go back again one day (i might even pay this time ha ha ha). If this is the standard of your fisheries i can only say one thing..........Bring on Laroussi in October!!!!

Thanks, Andy Wilson

Catfish stocked!, 1st Aug

Around 25 catfish to mid thirties have been stocked this month. They should do very well in this rich water & no doubt lead to some exciting battles for anglers in the future!

Dec 2004

Stocking at Beaurepaire, 1st Dec

Initial stocking of the lake took place in January 2003 when a large number of mirror and grass carp were introduced. Approximate numbers were: 800kg of carp between 19lb and 27lb 400kg of carp between 8lb and 11lb 200kg of carp between 4lb 8oz and 6lb 8oz

This gave a total of around 250 carp - unfished for since they were introduced. They have been fed on maize and pellets on a regular basis over the last year resulting in rapid weight gains – a couple of sessions by myself and friends have produced fish from 12 to 24lb, with most fish over 15lb.

To supplement the first stocking the water received a further batch of fish this week.

In all eleven large mirrors were stocked, their weights were: 32lb, 30lb 8oz, 30lb, 29lb 10oz, 29lb 7oz, 28lb 12oz, 28lb 6oz, 28lb 2oz, 28lb, 27lb 10oz, 27lb 5oz.

Many of the stock from two years ago will certainly have topped the 30lb barrier by now and most of this most recent group will do so by next summer, offering excellent action with the chance of some very nice sized fish.

Work to Shorten Spit Now Completed,

Many anglers noted that widening and deepening the gap between the two 'spits' that come out into the water would aid the movement of fish around the lake. This work has now been completed.

The spit that anglers use to fish from is still the same size so you can continue to fish very socially with your mates, however the other (which was not used to bivvy up on anyway) has been shortened.
