Lady's Lake Record Smashed in First Week!!, 1st Mar

Congratulations go to a very happy Linda Hemborough of the Beveridge party, who took the Ladies Lake Record Carp title at 8 o'clock in the morning on the 28th of March with a lovely Common of exactly 27lbs, upping her PB by almost 10lbs!!

Her partner Nigel has also beat his PB whilst here with a distinctive known fish called Cod coming in at 33lb 8oz.

Well done to both of you!!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU…., 1st Dec

to all of our customers of 2007 for making our first year such an incredible success.

It's been hard work and quite hectic at times, but it's also been entertaining, great fun, and very rewarding – and we've made some great friends along the way too.

We can say in all honesty that we feel very lucky that every single person who chose to stay with us here at La Gléhias were a real pleasure to have, and we look forward to seeing some of you again over the next few years.

Looking back over the year's feedback, we can see that many, many PB's were smashed several times over each week, and lake records were broken with regularity throughout the year. We have seen many anglers and non anglers alike going home very happy, some people even complained that they were going home heavier than when they arrived! (a real compliment, thank you - TJ), and all this gives us great encouragement knowing we must be doing something right.

And finally we would like to wish all of you all a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year, and hope 2008 brings happiness and good fortune to us all as we look forward to the next season.

Cheers and all the best, Lee, Tracy, Lauren, William and Sam (aka Spud).

Lake William Slowly Starts to Fill, 1st Oct

Lake William has now been fully cleared of the trees which were rooted to the lake bed and the lower part of the main sluice has been repaired.

Platform stilts and main cross joists are now in place for 4 spacious single swims of 5.5mx4.5m and 2 extra large double swims of 6.5m x 5m. The lake now also has a small new island in the in the shallow end as an additional area to fish to, the island is approximately 9m x 3m and has been laid out with two bays to face the anglers with a deeper gulley dug out in front of each, this should prove to be another great holding area for fish.

Although we have had little rain since the project began, and the water table is low, everything is on schedule as the 3.6 acre lake has already regained nearly four feet of water. Being spring fed, we expect it to take at least over the winter to fill completely.

The re-stocking of some of the smaller sliver fish has already begun with the gradual introduction of a ton of 6” Tench, Perch, Roach and Rudd. The bigger fish - Cats, Carp and possibly Sturgeon - are planned for stocking in around winter 2008.
