Details of your catches:

15 fish, biggest 59lb 8 oz (common), two other fifties (52 and 50 mirrors).

49, 48, 2x 47.5, 43, 41, 40, 38x 2, 34, 33, 24

Multiple forties and thirties, one twenty four. Average over forty pounds.

Fish came at all different times.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing to the weed, with heat shrink wrapped boilies. Crays very active, so fed them off with lots of particles and boilies. Changed rigs constantly as they attacked the coated braid and blunted the hooks.

Only lost two to hook pulls and one to weed. A couple of cut offs (assumed zebra muscle in the weed, or crays weakend the line)

General Comments:

Once again Boux was fantastic. There is more weed than we have seen before, but fish were in there.

Meant runs were sometimes a single bleep and fish dug in, but if you were quick to rods, then not too much of a problem.

Drifting weed a pain, had to clear this from line when playing fish, pulls of easy but some sharp bits in there, so check and if necessary strip damaged line after every fish.

General Comments:

Boux is an amazing venue, tranquil and stunning with good size fish, that fight hard and are in great condition.

The Pike in Boux are becoming a big problem, we were cut off twice and even landed a few on bright pop ups. The margins were constantly filled with Jack Pike chasing small fish.

Will definitely be going back to Boux, we struggled on this trip due to high pressure, hot days and cold nights, but just being there is half the fun, amazing wildlife, a million stars in the sky and the sounds of nature - stunning

Details of your catches:

Had a very good week 29 fish landed including 7 forties biggest 47 mirror and 47 common, lost about 10 fish due soft mouths and barbless hooks.

Very hot all week. Didn't expect to do so well in conditions. All fished from wooded bank which is hard work getting to. Will return hopefully next September. All fish immaculate and hard fighting.
