Steve Pinn “The BIvvy Tramp” sent me this report from the recently reopened Lodge Lake.
“These are the best of last week’s catches on Lodge lake which has been closed for most of Jan and Feb for maintenance work. We were rewarded as the first on there for some time with 21 fish between myself and ‘The Captain’ Keith Maker. I think Keith had more fish but I was delighted to get a cracking fish for Lodge lake and a pb for that lake at 25Ib 14oz plus the beautiful ‘apple slice’ mirror at 17Ib 4oz – a perfect example of how size doesn’t matter when they are that attractive. I also caught the scaley fish during that wonderful purple dawn. Bivvy Tramp.

Upper Tamar lake regular Nigel Woods has been warming up for the £3500 Pallatrax carp Open Pairs at the end of March with some stunning fish from the venue. Over two visits Nigel has banked two commons over 20lbs at 20.02 and 20.04 as well as five other smaller fish including this stunning double figure mirror and a small spawned on mirror. Its fantastic to see some stock coming through with amazing scale patterns. Nigel was using sticky baits Krill and matching wafters.
