Capesthorne Main Lake

[petemoore808]

Hi all

I am hoping to do a couple of day sessions on the main lake at capesthorne next week, but am unable to go down for a recce beforehand, can anyone tell me what the weed is like on there at the moment so i can sort my rigs out accordingly.
many thanks

Alright mate. I fished it the other week and the garden pool is pretty much clear of weed but there's still a bit in the other side of the bridge. Easily fishable though.

bout 120 fish..............30x 20's+ and potentially 10 x 30+ at the right time of year!

fished capes garden pool today and had 1 tench and about 4 o clock lost an absolutely enormous mirror close to the net , it was a defo very high 20 or possible 30 ,i just wondered if anyone has any clues to what fish it could have been
i got a good look at its left flank and it was a deep golden colour with none or hardly any scales on , it was also quite a long fish and deep in the body.
any ideas ?

only managed a few hours today mate......it was very disappointing to say the least.....got there and a few noddies were on its a small water and does not react to well to noise...movement..etc.....Saw one fish in 2 1/2hrs...as I usually stalk it.....they just weren't interested The only up side is I am off work until thursday....so will be able to get back on the bank very shortly...at least twice.. Surely they will be up for it at some point

you know phil it was very much like that but i only got a look at its left flank and just like the one on the photo it had hardly any scales
oh what might have been eh ?

Sounds like a real heart breaker, I hate it, it lives with you for ages. Not that we take this "relaxing passtime" too serious in any way.
