The weeks are really flying by now and we are already in the fourth week of the season.Although the weather has been much colder than normal for this time of the year with really cold and sometimes frosty nights - the catches on the lakes have been excellent.
Two weeks to report as I have now got some good photos.
RougeThe second week of the season found two regulars catching over thirty fish with a stunning 40lb 8oz Mirror and a cracking 71lb Cat being the stars. Three thirties were also caught.
Fabulous 40+
71lb cat it may have been 72 but for the deposit on the mat!
Ouch that must have hurt - another manic Rouge common!
The third week again saw some regulars have a fantastic week with fifty fish caught including seven thirty pounders with the biggest being 38+. Unfortunately I haven't got any of these photos yet.
VertAlthough not fished for a complete week yet Vert has produced some prodigious catches with twenty fish in a days fishing being the norm. The fish are currently up to the high twenties but there are many bigger fish in there which are still being pretty elusive.
BleuThis lake continues to produce massive hauls of fish with twenties and thirties coming out on a daily basis. When you start to talk about the cats then this lake is something special. Every week produces at least on sixty pound cat as well as many others. Last week saw two different commons come out at 29+ but not quite the thirty mark. I was lucky to be at the lake when one of them was caught and these are pure "Bars of Gold".
These are some photos of the beauties caught last week.
