Beau 'repaired', 10th Sep

Pardon the pun but we are so pleased to see Beaurepaire bouncing back after a virus. After last weeks catches we were eager to see what this week of fishing would bring.

Due to a late cancellation only one angler went to the lake this week and he sadly had to make an early return today being recalled home due to a serious family illness. However, he has kindly reported his catch for the 3 days fished, which was already 17 carp to 45lb, 5 grass carp to 33lb & several catfish to 80lb!

He admits also to losing a few fish and found it necessary to alter his rigs to get the carp. He said the carp were fighting well and showing in both bays, so all things considered, they are back on the munch now.

This is great news not only for the anglers but for Bernard the owner too, a gentle man who loves his carp and was devastated to have let anglers down during the convalescence of the lake.

A couple of photos thanks to Gary Hayter, fishing Beaurepaire the week before last.

The Testers Have Returned!, 21st Aug

Beaurepaire was test fished for 3 days earlier this week and the two anglers caught between them; 5 carp to 45lb, 5 grass carp to 29lb and 5 catfish. 1 carp had some marks on it’s body and all the others were in good condition (this may or may not have been due to the virus).

Clearly the assessment of the lake is subjective. However, on balance we have decided to rest the lake for a further two weeks to make absolutely sure the carp are 100% healthy and fully recovered. Whilst the field testing results were positive, we do not want to risk the health of the carp or experience of our customers at this time. We fully expect the lake to be open again for w/c 6^th September.

Any further news will be updated as it happens.
