We are now halfway into our closed season and lake maintenance. On the Kingfisher Lake there will be one new swim called the "Chestnuts Pitch" which will be situated between the Maurice Pitch and the Spink's Pitch.

"The habitual carp fisher only suffers his affliction for three months of the year. This is a mercy. At other times he is completely sane, able to live the life of a prosaic human being-his dream undisturbed-his mental balance normal and his meals are taken at regular hours.

But during those three months, that is to say June July and August, he is concerned with only one thing- carp. Make no mistake, his schemes, his dreams are not concerned with small carp- your true carp fisher thinks of the monsters."

Following many requests from clients/friends I have finally decided to set up a Carp France page on FaceBook. Whilst I can see many benefits for all please remember to keep things polite for the benefit of all.

Driving to Carp France

Two weeks ago Severine and I took a five day break in England and by far the faster route we took was Calais - Abbeville - Rouen - Le Mans - Tours - Poitiers - Angouleme - La Rochefoucauld - then onto the D13 then on to the D164 then heading to Poumeroux. Which took a little over 6hrs and staying within the speed limit.

Tight Lines and "All The Best" for the forthcoming season.
