pumpkin123 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Just thought I'd let people know its Free fishing there now for the time being as the Wrekin angling club don't run it any more. Was also wondering if anybody's ever fished it and if it contains any good carp as i know it used to contain a big Koi at 20 plus pounds but i havent seen it for at least 6 months! Any info would be much appreciated Quote
jemsue5 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Quite a few wildie commons around the low double mark, last i heard the koi came out at about 27lb. Quote
pumpkin123 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 Nothing big then, yea i saw a picture of it at 26lb it was gaining huge weight over a short period of time. But i walk past it every day and havent seen it, im not sure whether its either died or been stolen. Its in the Shawbirch, Dothill area not far from wellington mate. Quote
jemsue5 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Heard a rumour it might of gone walkies as a mate of mine aint seen it for a while. Quote
pumpkin123 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 Yeah i think so! If you think how much koi carp half that size go for! A fish like that would be in the thousands lol Quote
Guest keenook Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 What a highly informative thread, now every man and his dog in the area will be there, and then you will wonder why there are NO Carp left! Quote
Guest keenook Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 The thing is pumpkin the anglers that fish there will really thank you, and don't forget the lurkers who read with great interest, but NEVER post! Quote
jemsue5 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Nobody fishes it for the carp as for the Koi i'm pretty sure its gone walkabout or died over the winter. It used to stick out like a sore thumb in a water that is only a couple of feet deep. With the freeze up we had this past winter i wouldn't be surprised if a few were lost in that lake. Quote

Fair play, but a few might have a good look around now..... Quote
jemsue5 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 True, i'm certain the fish has gone as it was a target of my lads and we aint seen it in ages. I hope its still there but i dont think so. Quote
