More good Carp

Both myself and my 15 year old daughter caught Carp all day long – like this nice double figure mirror. Lots of Commons too. Cheese, bread, meat, sweetcorn – they took the lot!

Nice Common and Mirrors caught by my 15 year old daughter and myself on a windy day at Ellingham Hall.

No one else there!

The first of many!

The first of many from Ellingham Hall today. Fished down the edge in about 12 inches of water and had fish all through the session.
Watched kingfishers, buzzards, ducks, geese and even a red kite in between catching carp and some nice roach.
Great water, especially on a sunny day.

They took any bait we gave them!

A good day despite four seasons worth of weather!

Bonus visit to Ellingham Hall Lakes with temperatures more like Mid Summer than April. Most swims flooded as water high but fishable.
Sat through all the seasons – bright sunshine, thunderstorm with torrential rain, hail stones the size of golf balls! – then Rainbows!
Fish fed consistently on every bait, sweetcorn, Cheese, bread, and pellets.
Lively Mirror and Common Carp. One here caught by my daughter.

A father and daughter team take on the Ellingham Carp

Lots of Common Carp like this caught all day long by my daughter at Ellingham Hall Lake.

Bread, sweetcorn, meat, cheese….. You name it, they took it!

Caught on the fly!

Having had a nice session last week at Ellingham catching Rudd on the drop with bread paste I thought I’d try my hand at catching them on my light fly rod.

I got a bit more than I bargained for!

By the end of the fight the fly was looking a bit worse for wear but did go on to hook another large Mirror which sadly broke the new 5lb hook length and got away.

And the Rudd? Yes I caught some of those as well. An interesting day!

Doing the rounds at Ellingham Lake
What an afternoon I had!
Fished all 40 pegs and had fish 5lb and over on every peg. Best peg was peg 2 where I had a 15 pounder.

Some great birds at Ellingham!
Targeted the roach today with tares but couldn’t get through the carp!
But two appearances from the osprey made it worthwhile, plus
kingfishers, green and great spotted woodpeckers etc.
Lovely lake.

An exhausting day at Ellingham Hall Lake
Had a first fish at the lake yesterday, I am worn out today! A new personal best – 65 Carp , ranging from the baby ones, 12inchers – 15inchers, also equaling my best ever caught 8lb Common
Some of the tiddler carp probably caught more than once.Fish at every cast. I was able to see the fish, feeding at the very edge, when I put sweetcorn in as an offering at my feet,the larger Carp mopped it up. Soon as I dropped the hooked corn in they took it, and spat it out right away!
I changed to floating bread crust, they went mental taking the hook bait! When I ran out of bread, I changed to my usual 8mm hair rigged pellet, and called it a day with the 8lb Common.
Also nice Rudd and Roach to end up with 70 plus fish. I didn’t float fish at all, prefer ledgering.
Some of the 6inch carp had no barbules, if they are Crucian this is another first for me.
