Tips For Targeting Arnold, 16th Aug

After a really long spawning our fish are unusually really down in weight at this time with some of the big girls 10-11lb down. They are now feeding like mad trying to pack the weight on and get to their normal weights before winter!

Most of our 50lb+ fish are down in the mid forty pound range except for a massive male who goes by the name of Arnold. Arnold never drops more than a few pounds during spawning so at such times he is the fish most people want to target.

Just this week Arnold has come out again at a massive 56lb and I decided to write a quick note about what I have noticed about arnold that can help future anglers target this monster in a lake full of monsters.

1) Arnold Favours a particular side of the lake, he is always caught even from stocking as a young fish, on the side of the lake as you first aproach Villefond, swims 1-4. Only once has Arnold been caught on the other side of the lake and that was during spawning when his normal routine was broken and he would have been chasing the girls around.

2) Arnold Favours a particular food, despite the house plum boilies being the most popular by far and accounting for most of the big fish during the year, both times this year Arnold has been caught it was on the same not as often used house Creamy boilie.

I hope this helps anyone looking to target this beast of a fish and happy hunting

Feedback 11th - 19th July, 22nd Jul

Here's an email we recieved from the anglers out at Villefond last week...

Hi Heather,

Myself and a couple of my friends have been over to the above lake. We went over there on the 11th of July and returned 19th July, I would like to say how fantastic our trip was!

I know bad news is much easier to spread and good news isn't spoken about much, but on this occasion it was fantastic.

We felt extremely welcomed from the moment we arrived at the lake to the moment we left. Everything was done to a high standard from the food to the organisation of the lake. We would highly recommend this lake to anyone. If you could place our praise on a blog or whatever you guys do I would be so grateful.

I would also like to add angling lines were also brilliant in organising trip and having been easy to contact to answer any questions we have.  We are all very grateful and we will be going back to that lake for our future trips.

Kind Regards,
Paul Moyle
