Time for an update, we have been so impressed with the C3 we got from VS Fisheries that we decided to stock some more albeit a little bigger than the previous lot, this time C5 & C4'S went into the lake, same strain as before i.e. Sutton, Leney/Dink, Leney/Sutton crosses.
Few photo's of new stock, put in on Jan14 2011.
The C5's averaged 14&1/2lb and the C4's 10 1/2lb. The C3's put in on Dec09 have averaged 3-4lb in weight gains which is respectable, with the biggest caught going 13.12 from 5.04!! Biggest landed to date in 2010 was a lovely dark mirror just shy of 30 which is up 3lbs from 2009 figures, sadly 2/3rds of the fish hooked last year were lost due to inadequate tackle and snags, will update later in the year to see how things are going for the lake, one last pointer we now have a stock lake for the fingerlings/small carp we are growing on, at just over an acre it's a lovely little intimate water.

Great to see fish of that size and proportions being stocked. Some real stunners there mate. That linear is going to be a real target fish in a few years time. Perhaps I am an old romantic but I love to see fish coming through, growing to their potential in the environment they live.
