Capturing Another Villefond 50lb+ Carp, 4th Jan

2016 has been a great year for Lac du Villefond, producing lots of big fish and increasing our lake record to 65lb+. Lots of new carp breaking the 50lb+ barrier for the first time, one of which is the subject of this brief article.

A busy year on the lake has meant that personally, as the fishery manager, my fishing has been limited and reduced to just brief night sessions. However with a few tricks and a large amount of luck I have been really lucky and on night sessions caught a new personal best carp of 63lb and some other really big fish including a 48lb common I had been after since we bought the lake 8/9 years ago. So I shouldn’t ask for more but I did and I was hoping for a 50lb+ carp before the end of 2016, if the carp gods would provide one more time…

A Record Catch Report!, 25th Apr

Some great news just come from our lake Lac Du Villefond a amazing catch report. We had four guys fishing our lake who have been before and knew our lake well. One angler told me ever year he comes it has been better than the year before so they had high hopes. His personal best carp was a good forty and he has caught some stunning fish from our lake.

The fish have just come out of winter and have just started to switch on the feed and our monsters have started to search out bait. The guys were using the house baits and sweetcorn, fishing pop ups and sweetcorn over a scattering of freebies. The catch report was as follows:

62.10,
62.4,

52.12,
51,
50.8,

49,
48 common,
46.8,
45.8,
44,

39.12,
35,
34.8,
31,
30lb linear

12, 10 and 5 other stockies.......

This was the again the best year as each angler smashed their pb's and what was really great for the lake was the 3 50lb+ fish that they caught were new 50's for the lake. It was their first trip over the 50lb barrier and they join loads of other fish to reach that magical number in our lake. All round a great week!
