The rain came!

Rouge

Another hard week on Rouge, though this time the problem was not getting fish to pick up baits, but rather getting them on the bank! Nigel and martin had awful luck targeting the big cats and lost (at the last count) 5 sizeable fish. As regular visitors to the lakes, and veterans of Catfish over 90lb, when these guys say it was a biggie i have no doubt! Whilst it was quiet on the Carp front, one short feeding spell resulted in 23lb and 27lb Carp before the rain came again and things went quiet. Thanks to martin for sending us these pictures of one of the Cats they did bank, and a lovely 17lb Common. Here hoping for better weather in September chaps!



Bleu

It was an interesting week all round on Bleu as 4 anglers returned to the papillon complex 10 years after their first visit, bringing with them the original Exclusive Angling Holidays promotional video (fascinating watching!).

All four anglers caught steadily and banked over 1400lbs of fish throughout the week. At the last count there had been a 28lb Carp banked and a 40lb+ Catfish - great fishing lads, and i look forward to seeing some pictures!
