Wing Lakes Stamford/Oakham - Catch Report

[henda11]

well ive just got back from my 2 days fishing a wing lakes, and it was a pretty good 2 days i would say, plenty of little carp around, and plenty of big ones aswell, the lakes were nice and tidy, no rubbish what so ever, although i would say there were to many lily pads in some places on the lakes, but i had a very very good 2 days, i camped at the wing lakes camp site and the lakes were only a 10 minute hike down a hill and or a 2 minute ride in the car,.. the scenary was nice, and the lakes were even better..

 

on the 1st day fishing was slow, i caught a dozen or so little carp over 1lb but nothing big on that day,

then the 2nd day came along and i tryed a new spot and i used the maggot feeder this time and it came up with a result,

i caught a couple of 7lb common carp on that day along with the smallest mirror carp i have ever seen. also my girlfriend caught her 1st carp even though it wasnt a big 1 she was still pleased.

i would recommend wing lakes as it is in a nice quiet place to fish, there is no rowdy youths to bother you, the place is very very tidy, and its only £6 per night to camp and £5 per day to fish.

 

here are some pictures.

Looks like an ok venue. My only comment is to suggest you don't stand up holding fish for photo's as they don't bounce very well from that height

Hope they are not your white nails Hend? and you didn't get them through gripping that rod so hard

hauling that last big one on the mat

Glad you had a good time, thats what it's all about and if you catch fish after a few days away,it's a bonus
