The additional Mirrors arrived on the 13th Jan 2017 which as taken the stock over 290.
There are over 60 * 30lb+ commons and Mirrors in the lake. The biggest fish stocked in the lake in April 2016 was 36lbs for the common and 38lb for the mirror. April 2019 we have had commons out to 40.5lb , also a mirror about the same size but not the one which was catch at 39lb last year. A lot of fish were caught on 2019 between 32-39lb mark which has good signs now for 2020. The lake is been feed this year from September to December then again from February to April with pellet and boilies.
The biggest Mirror in 2020 was 424lbs which was caught in July , in 2020 August a 42.5 lb 41 lb Common was caught. This biggest mirror caught so far in 2020 is a 39.1lb.
All fish added are French Royals purchased from Bigot Fishery's, These Carp are French Royals and have been chosen for their tone and colouring, and using this strain we can expect fish under 40lbs to increase in weight by over 5lb's a year.The larger fish will have a smaller growth rate but we are hopefully that there will be a 50 or even high 50lb fish in the fishery within the first 3 years.
It has been decided that we have stocked one Catfish at Les Rivets its 32lbs at the moment and will remove this once the Pike have grown to keep the Fry under control.
