Fishing Report Stanwick Lakes 2008

Kevin Huish

Stanwick Lakes is situated near in the centre of the country and was chosen as one of the venues for us to fish during 2008 so that has many of the members could make it, plus it was a new venue for the club to fish and give the members a bit of a challenge.

On arrival at the venue I was met by the Fishery Manager Mr. Jon Holmes who proceeded to tell me that a few eels had been caught in the lakes on the complex and he was hopeful that the club would catch.

10 members and two guests fished the venue over the weekend but the eels did not show. There was one eel caught at 5ozs by Nick Duffy therefore becoming the Stanwick Champion for 2008.  The venue did look like that it should produce eels, in fact, the neighbouring lake Elson’s did produce 3 eels to a good size.

A Lot of the members toured the lakes and suggested that we should fish Elson’s soon.
With that thought in mind I have gone ahead and booked the lake for 2009. It will take 12 members but has 16 swims so whoever fishes should have a good choice to choose from.  The dates for next year are the 5th, 6th & 7th of June 2009.  Further details will be given later in the time nearer next year.
