The Island Lake saw the stocking of 30 new fish, half commons and half mirrors, on Wednesday 12th December, 2006. Owners Tom, George and bailiff Mick Hall were present to witness the stocking and Angling Lines were there with the video camera to film the event.
The fish, supplied by Horton Pisciculture, weighed from 29lb 4oz to 39lb 6oz… with 25 fish over 30lb, of which 10 were over 35lb.
This represents a fabulous addition to the already impressive stocks in this picturesque and well appointed gravel pit fishery.
In November 2006 the professional netsmen came to Sauvelliere to remove some of the unwanted small carp. This was followed in December 2006 by additional carp being added to supplement the existing stock. This consisted of 56 fish…. 4 x 33lb+ (largest 36lb), 20 x 26lb to 32lb & all the rest 22lb+. This short video clip shows the additional stock being introduced – following the carp from leaving the fish farm to entering their new home.
