CATCH REPORT TO 17th SEPTEMBER.

Some good fish reported from the season ticket lake this week. Dave Reekie landed a mirror of 40.04, Steve Burgess took a mirror of 38.12 and Matt Holland had a trio of commons at 36lbs, 27.12 & 21lbs. Rod Phillips took a nice duo of 36.10 mirror and 33.09 (PB) common, Mark Owen had a linear mirror of 29.06, Carolyn Rogers landed a mirror of 28.06 and Chris Manifold had a common of 28.01. As can be seen from the pictures below, the carp are carrying little roe, and should all be considerably heavier towards the end of the year.
