Year 2005 update

The year 2005 has been my second year as owner of the Papillon lake complex of Exclusive Angling Holidays and what a year it has been.

With a really fantastic summer weather wise and fishing wise it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to do this update.

Lets get down to the statistics for 2005

Rouge

Record Mirror of 49lb
Record Catfish of 100lb
Record common of 32lb
Record weekly catch of 72 fish
23 Mirror carp over 40lbs caught which beats last years figures of 16.
Weekly best of 11 30’s and 3 40’s carp.

Vert

Record common of 28lb 12oz.
Record mirror of 35lb
Record Catfish of over 50lb ( scales bottomed)
32 fish totalling 483lb caught in a 22 hour session by one person.

Bleu

Record Catfish 83lb caught twice
Record Common of 31 lb
Record catch of over 4500 lbs caught in a two week holiday.
Largest Mirror 35 lb12oz.

All these statistics speak for themselves in that the lakes are continuing to flourish and go from strength to strength. I know of many stories about the ones that have got away and I am convinced that these lake records are going to be beaten again in the year 2006.

During the winter months we are continuing to do improvements to the lakes and facilities which our regular visitors have seen during 2005. Our aim is to make this your holiday to remember.

Kind regards and have a good Xmas and New Year
