08/08/10    Only a few anglers have found a way to beat the weed in Nar Valley Fisheries Lake Geneva and a new complex record Carp for Billy McGivern proves it can be done. After losing the big fish title 3 years ago Billy has grabbed back the top honours with a superb Common Carp of 35lb 6oz, along with a 24lb Mirror rounding off a good weekend.  During the week Phil Vickers and Tim Smith had an eventful session with a bag of fish including four twenty pound plus Carp to 25lb. A 22lb Mirror for bailiff Johnny Owen has moved the reported number of twenty pound plus Carp from the complex for the season to 50, not including two fish over thirty. Very few Carp are feeding in Fenn lake but Jimmy Clarke and Phil Dix have found the Wels catfish more amenable, the best fish fell to Phil at 18lb 15oz.

27/07/10    The Carp fishing has been very steady this week on Lake Geneva of the Nar Valley Fisheries complex, which has produced it’s first thirty pounder of the season. Darren Francis banked the superb Mirror Carp of exactly  30lb and backed it up with a 23lb 10oz Wels Catfish from Fenn lake.

13/07/10    The hot weather has slowed sport on the Nar Valley Fisheries complex during the day, forcing the fish to feed early morning and late evening. A number of anglers have taken advantage of these feeding windows to create some good catches. Neil Gibson from Adelade, South Australia fished John’s Pond to land Tench to 5lb and Bream to 8lb before turning to Doug’s lake where he had a large number of Tench in the 8oz to 3lb range on the pole. A nice run of Carp from Fenn lake to various members was topped by a superb Common Carp of 24lb caught by Steve Wallace. Lake Geneva continues to produce some good Carp fishing with a number of twenties being banked, Tim Smith netted two nice low twenties to add to this total during his last weekend session.

21/06/10    The weather has changed, the wind was very cold and from the North last weekend, despite this the Carp in Nar Valley Fisheries’ Lake Geneva continued to feed. Many anglers battled with the wind and the subsequent drifting weed but the group fishing the sheltered causeway managed to add another four twenty pound plus Carp to the seasons total, their best fish tipped the scales at 26lb.

14/06/10    Another good week for the anglers at Nar Valley Fisheries. Returning members Phil Lee and Darren Francis, after a four  year break , continued their previous successes with sixteen Carp between them from Lake Geneva, including seven twenties. Phil landed the lion’s share of the catch with twelve fish, he banked five twenty pound Carp  headed by a fish of 22lb 12oz, whilst Darren caught fish to 22lb 8oz. Bream to 8lb and Tench to 5lb 8oz have been reported from John’s Pond.

06/06/10    The new season at Nar Valley Fisheries opened on 1^st June and has resulted in some very good catches. The Carp appeared to be chasing around in all the lakes in the preliminaries to spawning, this activity put off a good number of our members, but those that stayed to fish managed to put ten twenty pounders on the bank. Doug’s Lake is producing some good bags of Tench in the 1lb to 5lb range. The largest Carp of the week was caught from the smallest lake and stands as a new lake record, Nigel Hayden landed the fish a 25lb Mirror Carp from Willow pool in amongst a tidy catch of doubles. Two twenty pound Common Carp started David Hennell’s season in the right manner, 24lb 14oz and 21lb 3oz fron Lake Geneva. The best fish from Fenn Lake were two twenty-two pound Carp. A 10lb 8oz Bream for Mark Thorpe, also from Fenn Lake, has crowned an excellent opening week.
