News from Beaurepaire lake

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.
