As we move into the New Year, the Main lake is a beautiful sight.  It has been covered in a thin layer of ice in places over the last few days but with temperatures on the rise,  this has now disappeared.  Looking back over 2014, we have seen some of the iggest specimens ever caught at Shillinglee, including Theo's 10lb 9oz Tench, PJ's 40lb Mirror and several Pike at just under 30lb.  We have yet to see one of the big Pike caught since the season opended in October 2014 but we have wintessed many in the 15-20lb range so far.
