After not fishing the lake for several years Glen returned last week doing two nights and banking 5 mirrors between 16lb and 27lb including these three.

James and Dan fished a 48 hour session last week after the weather broke and banked 14 fish including these two at 22lb 6oz and 24lb 4oz

Luka banked one of the known Island Lake 'twenties' at 27lb 8oz during an afternoon / evening trip yesterday. A krill pop-up fished along the reed-line producing the goods.

Paul fished Island from Tuesday evening to Friday morning and banked 14 doubles including a 19lb 7oz common and a 23lb 5oz mirror.

Whitetips , the largest of the T1 'stockies' has been banked at 40lb 8oz

We have now completed works to close off more swims and install purpose built swim fronts to the remaining ones. The number of swims has been reduced to fifteen but obviously each one has more dedicated water; though all fishing on Island Lake remains short range or margin fishing. Due to the construction of the new swim fronts on Island Lake the rules have been updated to include the prohibition of 'stage stands' as these are completely un-necessary and only damage the wood-work. Fishing is only permissible from these purpose built swim fronts.

The fishing on Island Lake has picked up with the warmer weather. Two anglers who did 48 hours at the start of the week banked 5 fish between them, one angler had two fish on Wednesday and the second known 'thiry' came out at 30lb on Thursday.

From 1st February 2020 we are making a small change to the day ticket purchase requirements in that you are now asked to print off your Website Order Notification as proof of purchase of your day / night ticket(s). The gate code will still be on the PDF ticket in the download link in this order notification. Electronic copies of the Website Order Notification will be acceptable but you must ensure enough battery power to display this on demand or you will be regarded as fishing without a ticket.

Water level is now right up so its looking good again.

Fishing hard but they are coming out; Steve had one of the 'thirties' at 32lb 8oz last Friday and Scott had this mirror at 24lb 8oz today. Ed had another low 'twenty' earlier in the week and Saturday day / night saw another angler land three 'doubles' to 18lb.
