A mixed bag of weather

Rouge

The last few weeks have been a bit hectic especially as I have managed to break a rib.

Rouge saw the Sardi group fishing this lake for the first time and as usual bringing the rain with them. Every year the same sorry old tale of rain, sun then more even heavier rain.

The fishing was a bit slower than the previous week ( well that 91 fish haul does take some beating), even saying this a lot of fish were caught with two decent thirties from swims 5 and 6 and many high twenties from all swims both commons and mirrors. The cats have obviously been working out as the big ones always seemed to get away. I think I am right in saying that every one of the anglers lost at least one really big cat.

I don't have any photos yet as all the cameras were packed away but I know a good time was had by all and thanks again for coming. Please send me some photos.

Bleu

Bleu was once again visited by Mike and Colin who I think are on there 15th year down here. This was a red letter week for Colin who managed over 1000lbs of fish on his own. This was a PB total and coupled with a PB cat of 44 lbs.

"Biggest carp - 28 lbs 04 oz Biggest cat - 44 lbs.

All in all a great week despite the weather. The rain obviously helped, and it died off a bit on Friday when the sun came out."

Hope all goes well for the rest of the year, and see you same time next year.

Mike also managed 743lbs - congratulations on your second best ever total!
