Burton Mere Sold

[keilhj]

Alright smokey the carp in the mere go to about 23lb and there is probably near 10 fish that are around the 20lb mark. average carp is probably about 11-14lb and there's quite a few upper doubles in there.
Hope this helps

i live close to burton smokey and ive alway had 1 opinion on the place, rip off, in recent yrs apart from the cats not much over 24, maybe half a dozen 20's backed up with some high doubles. there was rumour chris tarrant was looking at buying it when it went up for sale a few years back not sure if that was bull**** or not? lovely looking water the mere, looks propper carpy but think its heyday passed well over a 15 year ago

sorry , quite slander ish, just my opinion

Given that the RSPB are a conservation-based organisation, it will be interesting to see whether their remit extends to fish? I would struggle to see the fish (certainly in the two match puddles) remaining in their current state of health without their diet being supplemented by angler's baits.

perhaps they will stock cormorants??
