April got off to a slow start due to the lake being flooded and water temperature being right down for this time of year. Northerly winds have also played a big part in the carps behaviour and the snow and hale stones midway through the month killed the fishing. Things started to pick up slowly towards the end of the month, however, it was the larger residents that put in an appearance for 2 anglers who between them banked a 45lb 8oz common, a 44lb 6oz mirror and a 48lb 7oz mirror respectively. The Charlou lake boilie, crab n fruit getting the better of the two big mirrors, with a 32lb mirror to another angler on the crab again. Quite a few upper twenties have also been caught on a number of different baits. We are still waiting for the big spring hits for our anglers and will keep you posted on this page as they come in.

May's report

Six anglers got among the forties with five of them banking mirrors and commons well over and above 40lb (pending weights and images). Plenty of thirty plus fish caught with only one of them under thirty being 27lb. Mixed tactics and various HNV baits including the lake 'crab n fruits' doing the business. Most fish to one angler being 10. Days and nights.
