Details of your catches:

We had 21 fish between the biggest being the 55.5lb fox common.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We used a variety of methods to try to avoid the dreaded poisson chat. Plastic baits were best but real boiles caught the bigger fish if they stayed on long enough.

General Comments:

A good week considering the cold weather and high pressure.

Details of your catches:

51 fish between 4 anglers - the most caught in a week since the lake opened 13 years ago. 50's x 3 - up to 52lb 8oz - this fish was caught 2 nights in a row by the same angler - Me 40's x 18 30's x 20 20's x 3 Doubles x 4 Grass x 3 Bream and chat

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing for a bite at a time, hook baits wrapped or used plastic baits. over hemp, sweetcorn, party blend, pellet, boillie. No point baiting heavy as chats were on the bait as soon as it was dropped, loads of liners. A lot of the bites were instance, as we believe the carp had no choice but to eat there and then or they would go hungry as chat's would clear the bait. We did have bites 4, 5, 12 hours after putting baits out, but we believe by this time we were fishing single hook baits

Good stock of large fish, poisson chat are a pain, shops not far away and very easy to get to mostly motor ways *Angling Lines note* Mehdi has now invested in a further 5 poisson chat traps which are designed to trap up to 10kg per trap per day. We believe this will make a difference for anglers next year.
