Ben Smeeth of South West Lakes Trust is thrilled to announce the first capture of ‘The Don’ from Upper Tamar after it was stocked in September 2017. The fish was banked by Ashley Bunning at 34.04. Ashely had this to say: ‘It went 34lb 4oz, to say i am over the moon is an understatement. Had the fish over a big bed of Burton bait rollers ‘Magnet’ and the new test bait’. Congratulations to Ashley on the capture. The capture was part of a great weekend on the venue with anglers catching multiple numbers of fish and other fish over 20lbs being recorded.

Steve Pinn Enjoys a frosty session

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0

Steve Pinn gives an account of his second session on Willow Lake. Almost a blank until the sun came out on the last day. This was when the larger fish came out, just before an amazing Devon sunset (only 17Ib but another willow, mint beauty). Had to wait until an alarm call at dawn on the last day when the smaller fish of the 2 woke me with a screaming run, I’d had similar runs from a swans leg but this time it was for real. I emerged to temps of -4, a heavy frost and the smaller of the 2 fish which wasn’t weighed but was a beautiful linear. You can tell by my disheveled appearance that I have literally just woken up in the picture!! Both fish were had on a new delivery of 12mm nuts tipped with a very chopped down fake corn and a red hair stop on a bed of red maggots and freeby 12 millers. A memorable second session of 2018 not just for the fish but also the wonders of nature.  Angling Artist Thanks to David Blackaller for supplying the good luck, the sunshine and the camera skills.
