We fished the left hand bank - the peg numbers below are ours not the lake's. Peg 1 was near the car park in open water, and 9 at the far end, in the narrow part of the lake.
The planned removal of the larger fish has taken place as rumoured elasewhere. Just 1 or 2 (literally) decent carp in the 7-10lb bracket today and a few lesser ones - quite a change from our last match here when weights were mostly made up of good numbers of doubles.
So todays nets were not dominated by carp - crucians and silvers made a significant contribution as well, including a few tench. Cant remember the last time I saw Clive put 20lb of silvers into the weigh sling.
Terry was todays worthy winner - well ahead fo the field with 73lb 4oz - from end peg 9 at the far end of the lake.
. This was the best end today and weights declined the further you drew down the lake towards the car park.I think everyone enjoyed their day once we had adjusted to the change in the stock - a very different sort of day but in pleasant surroundings. We need to decide quite soon if we want to book it again.
