Beaurepaire Update, 1st Aug

Beaurepaire has been closed for the last two weeks after several dead carp were found in the margins. Whilst the rate of deaths has slowed significantly, Bernard, the owner, found another dead carp yesterday. This means that in total around 30+ carp have died and we now sadly believe it may have been a virus.

Bernard is still awaiting the results of a post mortem on the dead carp, but is quite rightly putting the health of his carp first and wants to give the lake a rest before re-opening. Reluctantly he has therefore asked us to cancel the next 2 weeks anglers. Both groups have been contacted and offered alternative venues or a full refund.

Fingers X'd that the worst is now over. We will keep you updated.

A New Lake Record, 9th Jun

A huge well done to Cliff Jones who came away with the new lake record this May, weighing in at 56lb 1oz.

'After a few beers some silly bugger suggested that if one of us were to catch a lake record they should be made to streak the full length of the far bank and I can tell you now it’s a long way just wearing your boots and hat with paparazzi chasing you.'

Rather you than us Cliff!

Cliff also caught another fifty earlier on in the week, this one weighed in at 52lb 8oz.

'This one turned up two days earlier! I've waited 35 years to catch a 50 then just like buses two turn up at once. Our group has been going to Beuarepire for 4 years now and we have seen these fish putting the weight on and we are all convinced the lake will produce a 60lb carp within two years.'

Prolific week, 7th May

It's always great to hear how you guys get on at the lake, here's a brief message from Alan after a productive trip to Beaurepaire...

' Good afternoon Heather. Just thought I would drop you a quick email after returning from our trip to Beaurepaire on 19-26 April. The party was under the name of Mr. Wigg. We had a fantastic week catching 61 fish for a total weight of 2009 lb.

4 of us achieved new French P.B's. Bernard was more than helpful and invited us to the house for coffee. We had fished the venue last year and were really pleased to see the improvements that had been made including an extra fridge and larger freezer for bait.

The fish were much larger this year. A variety of baits and methods were used which resulted in all 6 of us catching all around the lake. Once again Angling Lines were brilliant from beginning to end. We have already booked for May 16th next year. Many Thanks, Alan Chick. '

Well done chaps! Impressive results, looking forward to reading your 2015 catch report.
