What can I say? Coarse Fishing has been excellent all summer and in recent weeks with floating baits (especially Bread and Dog mixer pellets) and Sweetcorn of curry flavoured Luncheon Meat on the bottom have been the best baits that have consistently produced some excellent fish.
The recent best has been a 16lb 2oz common followed by a 14lb 6oz Common and today (28th October more doubles including one at 12lb). The last time young Daniel Pearson ((pictured) was here the average weight of his Carp during the whole of his holiday was 7lb per fish! Excellent by any standards. Best bag was on Friday 12th October when Mr Savage from Newtown, was fishing on the end of the promontory using bread and various pellets, including Halibut, he caught no less than 39 Carp plus some good Roach; with the best Carp being a good double. Another angler, on the same day, fishing floating bread from the Helicopter Pad caught and lost a really good Carp when his size 10 Raptor hook was straightened during a good fight!
Several good sized Grass Carp have also been caught on Floating Bread and Dog Biscuit from the House and the Main Lakes.
Bream to 2 1/2lb on Maggot plus some fine Roach around the 1/2lb mark with the occasional Tench have also been landed.
While the weather is still relatively warm floating baits all around the fishery have been really producing the goods with many anglers reporting their best fishing sessions ever!
On the Fly Lakes, although there is an abundance of Trout, fishing continues to be hard with plenty of fish seen feeding on small white flies (Caenis fly). Many fish are just under the surface and so care must be exercised when approaching each lake so as not to spook the fish. Recent notable catches have included a 4lb Trout for Mr Graham Hutton of Newtown. while frequent visitor, Mr Kennedy of Penrhiwllan, has had many 2 fish bags! Good flies have included the Olive Bumble and Corixa.
Catch and release is still £10 for 4 hours fishing, £12 for a 2 fish bag, £18 for 3 fish., Recent Trout stockings have included many Blues and Rainbows 3lb and over amongst our regular stock size of 2lb.
