News from Lillypool lake

Fish on the move..., 1st Sep

Hi all, although there are no anglers on this week, I've kept the bait going in and the fish are showing freely all over the lake.. something they don't normally do. I can only assume they are feeding up for the winter.

Due to work, I've not had chance to get the rods out, but looking forward to this weekend. Fishing and shooting, it's not a bad life if you can get it! A word to anyone thinking of a late holiday... bring some winter gear, we've had our first frost at the weekend.

A progress report from Jason..., 1st Jul

Following the stockings at Lillypool I was personally unsure as to what to expect from the lake and its visitors.

We have all been very pleased with the results so far, with all fish putting on weight, some more than a few pounds. Fishing slowed a little due to two spawnings and a bonkers 37 degrees. The weather has now cooled and I fully expect the fish to go on the munch. A lot of the 30’s have been reluctant to show of late, but I won’t be surprised to see another one out having touched the magical 40lb mark.

Quest Bait over pellet is still producing the goods, with Chilli Choc and Rahja Spice being favourites.

I would like to thank everyone who has fished and shared sometimes more than a few beers and laughs with me at Lillypool.

Tight lines, Jason and little bailiff

New lake record common!, 1st May

A new lake record common as been caught at Lillypool!

The impressive fish was caught by Mark Sidery at 42lbs. It's also a new personal best common for Mark & was taken on a scopex/squid boilie fished over half a gallon of maggots, under some overhanging trees on the no fishing bank.

Special congratulations to Mark for landing his new PB common.

Another 55 carp stocked at Lillypool. Santa came early and emptied his sack!, 1st Dec

Following on from the 33 grass carp stocked in September 2009, Santa came and emptied his sack early in the form of Michel and Laurent Bigot and their fish farming team.

On 18th December 2009 a further 55 carp were stocked, slightly more than was promised but we just couldn't resist as they were all immaculate fish.

Six of the fish were just under 20lbs with the rest ranging from 20 to 30lbs. The average weight being 24lb 10oz and the biggest being 29lb 5oz with two lovely commons of 28lb 12oz and 28lb.

Roll on the 2010 season!
