CATCH REPORT TO 7th FEBRUARY 2011.

Still very few anglers fishing, but the syndicate lake has produced some good fish. Just 20 minutes after his arrival at the lake, Steve Ellison landed a 29lb mirror, and Alan Morris, after braving the cold, wet weather for a few days, lost a good carp right at the net, estimated as being a new PB.

However, the best result was Dave Pierce, who cast to a showing fish, and after a good scrap, landed the carp known as Moth, at it's best ever weight of 44.01, and in lovely condition. Although by no means the biggest carp in the lake, it's good to see yet another of the larger fish on the bank, this early in the season.

Dave is aware of a number of members not re-joining the syndicate in March, and anyone interested in membership, is invited to contact Dave by email on; emperorlakes@btconnect.com

Day tickets are now available for the bottom lake & both stock ponds. The bottom lake has now produced another new 30 on 7th February, with the capture of a 33.02 mirror, by Warren Lewis from Buckfastleigh. The fish came from peg 2, at 15.15 hours after a 20 minute scrap, and was followed 6 hours later with a sturgeon of 41lbs, which took best part of an hour to subdue. Both fish came on boilies, and Warren was aided by Rob Shann.
