After a beginning of torrential rain and night frosts the week has ended with glorious sunshine and genuine springlike temperatures. The total catch has included a new catfish record for the fishery at 54.9lb’s and 66 carp up to 38lb. Although the biggies are still reluctant to feed with any confidence we have seen 2 carp between 35 and 40lb’s, 7 between 30 and 35lb’s, 18 between 25 and 30lb’s, 17 between 20 and 25lb’s 15 between 15 and 20lb’s and 7 between 10 and 15lb’s. All in all its been a really enjoyable week with Le Moulin du Mee first timers Gorden, Lee, Stephen and Adam as well as stalwarts of our fishery Tim and Dave enjoying a friendly week with plenty of banter to complement the fishing. We look forward to seeing everyone again when the sun is shining and the fish are biting.

One factor commented on by all anglers was the superb condition of the fish with big golden tails and barely a scale out of place. The exciting thing for us is that we have yet to see the bigger carp banked and with the exception of the 2 over 35lb’s the remaining 30’s were all upper 20’s last season. There is no doubt that sometime soon some really cracking lumps are going to be banked so keep an eye on the blog for daily updates.
