Just back from France

Was out at the syndicate lake last week with Trish and one of our new members Dave
it was quite a wet week but a good one

As soon we drove on the lake and seen it in all its glory, we knew we was going to be in for a great week.



Looking up from the dam end.



from the mobile home swim.



looking out from the end swim.

That first night on the lake had a real magical feal to the place, the wildlife was absolutely fantastic. It felt just like being in Jurrasic park, minus the big scarey Dinosaurs. But with plenty of Kooko's,Owls,Herons, Deer and the frogs.




The fishing was all we had expected, as this lake was set up to chalenge your anging skills ( not just a hole in the ground just full of fish )

Dave did realy well for his first ever visit, with some 20+ carp to over 30 from the end swim with is quite heavy with pads.



it defernatly put a smile on his face

I was lucky with the best fish of the week at 38.00 taking one of my Moonfruit baits ( Thanks Dean ), cant wait to see what the bigger girls come out at, as looking at the weight gain on the ones I could recognised, they could be toching 50 lbs or over

we had couple of barbys in the week even in the rain LOL




Here are some of the carp we caught, with the smallest fish that week being a 21 common











Dave also went for a paddle in the stock pond and said he had seen carp swiming past him to over 20 lbs



Hope you enjoyed this small update

Fantastic Ron, looks awsome, the fish also look fantastic

Thanks mate ( or son LOL ) this is what the Dave posted on my web site forum

When i arrived at the lake and drove the van over the dam wall for the first time the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. The lake looked absolutely stunning

Just had a few pics from Dave who went back out for 3 days with his son Ryan

Ryans first French Carp

Kev and his lad, followed Dave and his son onto the lake the day they went home.

he fished for 4 days having 17 carp all over 20 lbs up to fish over 30.00 lbs



cant wait to get back there and try and land one of the big girls ( should be over 50 )

Looks like the lake is coming on a treat Ron. Big well done bruv
