THE FISH |
There are very few destinations on this planet where you may hope to land a 40lb+or 50lb fully scaled or linear carp. The Great lake holds such fish and it is no coincidence that fish from this venue have made the front cover of angling magazines 7 times over the last few years. We estimate the population of 500-700 carp, stock enhancement in 2003 with fish of the same complex have made this lake more approachable and prolific. These fish are worth every bit of effort made in their capture, it is not an “instant take venue” but it is long shot from being impossible. If you are on the fish they are quite easy to catch, in fact, blanks are becoming something of an unusual occurrence. |

If you had any doubts with your gear, an encounter will these will settle your mind. These fish are just solid bars of fun awaiting your visit. If it is fully scaled and linears that you after this is the ultimate place. Roughly 2 out of 5 fish is a 30lb+, most being caught in the margins or off the weedbeds. Sturgeon to 70lb, carp to 53lb, grass carp to 40lb+ and massive pike to 40lb+. The place is a revelation in terms of fish beauty, the lake itself is fairly open with grassy banks and the fishing is really special. |
