Catch Reports

2010   Feb 27th   The lake has now been defrosted for about a week. the fist time in 3 months it has been free of ice for this long ! The fish will probably be starting to think about moving, but the water is still bitterly cold. Spring must be here soon, the 1st snowdrops have appeared in the lane, but the daffs are still in hiding.

2009    13th December: I took my son James out for a couple of hours deadbating and 5 pike between 5-7lbs. Great fun for a seven year old.
Steve Adcock was back and managed 8 runs for 5 fish up to 16lbs so an excellent result for mid December.

2009    21st-22nd November: Steve Adcock fished over the weekend despite howling gales and persistant rain, and was rewarded with 13 carp all between 10lb and 14lb. A good result in the conditions, if not a little disappointing not to have got amongst the bigger fish.

2009    21st June: Steve Adcock from Shrewsbury banked a lake record mirror of 28lb 12oz. This is the very first time the fish has been caught and should be pushing 30lb next year. Well done Steve.

We have heard from a local angler that there may have been a mirror of around 35 lb last caught over 5 years ago. This could now be in the forty pound bracket but has not been caught since we took over the lake in 2006.
