I have just been told that the Canary Carp Crew are no longer doing the fishing trips and Keith has moved to France where he is working at a lake over there.
The only trips and fishing holidays now operating on Lake Chira are via David Beecham.

David is working with Nash TV and Sky TV on a series of fishing programs. These programs can be seen over the coming months. The programs will give anglers a preview of what to expect if they decide to swerve past France and the Ebro in search of something different. Guaranteed sunshine and truly wild lean fighting carp are the order of the day on Chira with the fish averaging in the mid 20s.
The lake water is being lowered slightly by the authorities over the next few months so that a Hydroelectric station can be built on the dam wall in order to generate extra electricity for the island. Once this station is built the lake will be refilled to its capacity of around 180 acres of surface area and thereafter it will remain constant with little or no fluctuation of the water level. When this is achieved then it will be possible to create better and more permanent swims.
This work is expected to be completed in the next 18 months, meanwhile fishing carries on as usual and January has been reported as very good with numbers of 40s and 30s gracing the banks.
I will be having a week out there next month and it will be my 8th week in less than 2 years and I am planning to get at least another 2 weeks in later in the year.
