Thanks, the fishing is that good mate I'm tempted to book friday/saturday/Sunday night as well, found an animal feeds supplier so can get some flaked maize if needed 👍👊
Thanks mate 👍
I was under the impression it was fishing to see what it holds because they used the word "trial", but yeah this reservoir is owned by South West Lakes and they will only allow carp fishing for the removal of carp because they were illegally stocked (by carp anglers I assume, there's been some stories lol)
It's to improve the water to keep it as a trout fishery. They have refused to open it up permanently as a carp water 🫤
The fish caught are being used to stock other trust/club course fisheries that they own and the small stuff are being sold on for revenue for the trust as well.
I wasn't sure how I felt about it all at first, because you're removing them from their original water, but if it helps the other trust waters i fish I suppose I'm all for it really.
Also fishing here has been like a dream for me, always seen it on the maps but never been able to fish it, now being able to is just awesome 👌
I know the lake that mirror is going in so would be nice to try and catch it in a few years time 👍
Anyway I've had 18 fish so far, reeled in last night at midnight to get a couple hours solid sleep. Feeling it today, got the wind blowing in my face, rods are out and some more bait 👊
