May 2009
In early May the weather was bad with appalling wind and rain and the lake very high not making fishing easy. However in spite of the weather an English fisherman managed to catch 142lb.of bream in one day with some really big ones over 4.5lb. He also caught 52lb.of roach in 4 hours. Two Frenchmen who were pike fishing were delighted when they caught and released one measuring 1 metre 20cm which would have weighed about 32/34lb.
