CATCH REPORT TO 26th NOVEMBER.

Another quiet week, but a couple of surprise captures for this late in the year, in the form of a 6.15 tench to Jamie Parr and a 38.02 catfish to Richard Broadbeer, both from the day ticket water. The lake also produced an 18.12 common, along with a couple of pike for Steve Jones, and a 18.12 mirror to Paul Wood. Pike anglers might be interested to know that a substantial number of pike captures have been landed over the past three weeks, and sighting of very large ones, believed to be over 30lbs have been reported. Certainly, a number of 25lb+ fish have been landed this year, and we are looking at forming a syndicate for pike fishing. Names are now being taken, please phone Paul on 07814 060147.

The only sizeable fish reported from the season ticket lake was a lovely condition mirror of 33.12, the first fish and a PB for new member Dan Williams. This rather slim fish is obviously capable of putting on quite a few pounds before spawning time.

Still plenty of fish taken from the stock ponds.

CATCH REPORTS TO 19th NOVEMBER.

A little quiet still, but a few good fish reported. The day ticket lake produced another two 30's this week, a 32.05 PB common to Mark Harraway and a 30.12 mirror to Tony Latter, also a PB. Steve Janes took a mirror of 23.02.

Very few fishing on the season ticket water, but it did produce a 33.01 PB mirror for Rob Pierce, an unusually long fish, and a 26.10 mirror to Mark Pollard. Mark Owen took a common of 24.12 and Malcolm Best landed a 20lb mirror.

CATCH REPORTS TO 12th NOVEMBER.

Very quiet on both main lakes this week, although more fish are known to have been landed, the only reported captures are from the day ticket lake. They were a 31lb common to Craig Thomas, and an 18.04 common to Taff Vanstone.
The lack of anglers did allow Dave to carry out extra maintenance on the lakes.

On a brighter note, some lively action on a couple of the stock pools. Martin James fished a half day on Amiees Pool for a mixed bag of 73lbs, and three lads fished Teardrop Pool over two daylight session, to help thin out the large quantity of fish. Around 130 carp, mainly in the 2-3lb bracket were landed, with 30 of the best mirrors moved to the fish room for rearing on, and the rest, mainly commons, going into Dans Pool. Tench to over 7lb were also hooked, but these were left in Teardrop.

CATCH REPORTS TO 5th NOVEMBER.

Very quiet with the arrival of the cold weather, and far fewer anglers on the lakes. The only reported captures on the season ticket lake were a 30.02 mirror to Mark Owen, 28lb mirror to Brian Male and 22lb common to Les Wallace.

Hard work also on the day ticket water, with a 35.06 catfish for Richard Bradbeare, an 18.08 common to Joseph Neale, and a surprise 5.02 tench to Wayne Guage, despite plummeting temperatures. However, once again, one of our regulars, Andy Buchanon did well with catfish of 34.08 & 15lbs, plus common carp of 18.08 & 19.08.
