Carpenwater developments

New.for.2007...

Carpenwater has now become a syndicate fishery with only eight members. We feel this is the best way forward in keeping Carpenwater a top quality fishery and optimising the fishing performance. The limited amount of fishing will help keep the stress levels to a minimum for the fish and will also help the ones that have been caught to recover.
This is the first year we have allowed fishing between January and April and as a result a few problems have been encountered. The main problem being all the rain which has made things very wet and with all the foot traffic up and down between the swims it has got very messy! The other problem has been the slippery slope to the swims. To combat these problems we plan to construct some wood chip bivvy swims which will help keep things clean and dry. Each swim will also have a few steps down the slope to the rods which will save you from slipping or falling over whilst running to get your hands on your rod. There will be four swims consisting of 2 standard bivvy size and the other 2 swims to accomodate the larger bivvy.
Fishing will be allowed from any location on the lake but all anglers must stick to the marked swims and not get in the way of each other. This will allow for some early morning stalking or some float fishing amongst the reeds as the carp do love routing around for food.
We will be running a few competitions during this season, one for the biggest carp, one for the biggest catfish and one for best catch so keep a record of your fish. Photographs will be required for any claims and the weights must be witnessed.
