CATCH REPORT TO 22nd JULY.

A little slow this week, but a few good fish reported. The season ticket lake saw Tim Mountjoy with a 32.08 mirror, backed up with a 24.02 common and a 3lb tench, all taken on Pallatrax baits. Gareth Hazledean took a mirror of 26.02, plus a common of 19.04, Steve Ellison reported a 26.09 mirror and Oisin Riley had a 16lb common.

Mark Owen with his 23.14 fully scaled mirror from last week.
The day ticket lake produced a 47lb PB catfish for Rodney Abbott, and numerous doubles carp to Paul Wood, Martin Redford, Keith Redford, Aaron Fisher and Andy Nicholls. It does seem that eels were beating other species to the bait this week with Donny Tom taking 6 from 1lb to 4.08, Nick Neal with a 3 pounder, Scott Farrer with 2 x 3lbs and a jack pike and Mark Wood with a 4lb eel and 12lb common.
Darren Shovel with his 25.06 from last week.
 The coarse fish pools have continued to fish well, with Teardrop producing tench of 8.13 (PB), and 4.12 to Rod Worrall, taken on hair rigged worm & corn. Amiees is consistent with Tony Latter and Ashley Commander reporting mixed bags of 70-80lbs, during the early part of the week, despite persistent heavy showers.

 On Sunday Pete McMahon & son Jamie brought along a junior match team from Newton Abbott for their first visit to Emperor Lakes. They had a great day in the sunny weather, getting to know the pools, and taking a variety of species, including quality roach, from Amiees, Teardrop and Dans pools.
