From the season ticket lake, best of the reported catches was to Carolyn Rogers, who has only previously fished on the day ticket water. She has now joined up for the specimin lake, and her very first fish was a linear mirror of 32.06, a very impressive achievement. Other reports include Brian Male with a mirror of 30.11 and Dave Pierce with mirrors of 29lbs & 31.15. Steve Dawes fished a short session on the water for eels, landing 3 fish to 2.04.

On the subject of eels, and following our report last week of the site being awarded a certificate as an eel friendly water, we have been notified that we are one of ONLY 8 sites in the country given this award. Unfortunately, eels are the favourite food of otters, so as a precaution, we are hoping to be able to carry out the scheduled installation of otter proof fencing as soon as possible.
