Catch Results 19/05/08

Sorry this update is a little late - last week I had my final exams at Limoges Uni, and so I was a little pre-occupied trying to remember all the French I've learnt over the last year!

Bleu

Hein and Arianne drove down from the Netherlands to visit us this week, and had a fantastic week's fishing on Bleu. Whilst it was Arianne's first trip, hein has visited us twice before, fishing Vert and Rouge.

During the week they caught some of the most stunning fish bleu has to offer, including several whopping commons, and some gorgeous heavy-plated mirror carp. They didn't manage to break the thirty pound barrier but came close several times with carp up to 29lbs.

The smaller catfish seemed to be feeding in short bursts, which is usually a sure sign that the bigger cats aren't on the feed - however Hein landed a superb 50lb+ specimen to complete a memorable week. For Arianne, it was her first serious carping trip to France, and I'm pleased to say she broke her PB several times

Here are some great photos, and many more are available in our galleries:



Vert

For a change of scenery, Arianne and Hein also fished an afternoon up on Vert and had a spectacular time with some brilliant fish falling in a frantic session!



Thanks to you both for all the superb pictures, and we hope to see you again soon.
