More carp stocked at Lillypool, 1st Jan

Following on from the introduction of the 51lb mirror at Lillypool, the lads have gone mad and put in yet more fish in for your enjoyment. Yes, I did say more fish added to the already impressive head of carp. This should really help guarantee even more carp action next year.

Due to work commitments I couldn’t be there to take delivery, but a good friend of mine, Peter, agreed to over see the process of weighing and photographing the 24 fish… all of which were above 20lb, being between 20.7 lb & and 26.4 lb.

Since my brother and his long time fishing buddy, Mark, have owned Lillypool they have strived to make it one of the most talked about lakes in France. With the introduction of these fish and the 50lb'er they are well on the way.

Last season was fantastic, this season should be something else.

Xmas wishes to you all....., 1st Dec

Everyone at Lillypool, Jay the bailiff, Martin and Mark, would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you who made 2010 such a pleasure and success a Very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

The same heartfelt wishes go to those anglers we are looking forward to meeting in the New Year. You know who you are because you have already booked what will be a fantastic fishing holiday. And to those who have booked a return visit.... DON'T FORGET MY BEER!

Very Merry Christmas and at last a 50+ for the new year!

At last we stock a 50lb+ fish at Lillypool!, 1st Nov

We've been after a fish of above 50lb for a while now, but they are as rare as hens teeth.

Finally I got the phone call on Tuesday night to say she was on her way. It was a cold wet night, but at 8.30pm I had the pleasure of seeing her in the oxygenated tank and then carrying her the short walk to the lakes edge. After confirming her weight at 51lb, taking photos and a video, I got into the water for one last shot before letting her gently slip into her new home.

For those of you already booked here next year, good luck in your quest. I look forward to seeing her again in the spring with a bottle of bubbly going to the first lucky angler.

Pics & video to follow very soon.
