KHV DISEASE IS DEADLY AND LIKELY TO KILL EVERY CARP IN THE LAKE. THERE IS NO CURE. ALL WE CAN DO IS TAKE PREVENTIVE ACTION. ALL LANDING NETS MUST BE BONE DRY BEFORE ENTERING THE FISHERY. ALL LANDING NETS , CARP SACKS UNHOOKING MATS TO BE HUNG UP IN THE TREES AND TAKEN DOWN WHEN A FISH IS CAUGHT .U.V. RADIATION KILLS THE VIRUS. DO NOT THINK BECAUSE YOU HAVE DIPPED YOUR NET IN A DIP TANK AT SOME OTHER FISHERY YOUR NET IS FREE FROM THE VIRUS. THE E.A. HAVE TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THE NET IS LEFT IN THE DISINFECTANT FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES THE VIRUS MAY STILL SURVIVE.
THIS YEAR WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL VERY LARGE CARP CAUGHT.
WE HAVE ALSO FOUND SEVERAL LOST RIGS WITH BARBED OR MICRO BARBED HOOKS.
ANYONE FOUND USING BARBED OR MICROBARBED HOOKS
(OTHER THAN FOR PIKE FISHING UNDER THE AMENDED RULES WHEREBY 2 MICRO
BARBED TREBLES ARE NOW ALLOWED) WILL
BE BANNED FOR LIFE. MAY WE ALSO REMIND EVERYONE THAT FISH HEALTH IS PARAMOUNT. WHEN YOU
CATCH A FISH THAT YOU WISH TO WEIGH OR PHOTOGRAPH, PREPARATIONS MUST BE
MADE BEFORE THE FISH IS LIFTED FROM THE WATER. THE FISH MUST NOT BE OUT
OF THE WATER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. WE WILL BE CHECKING
RIGS REGULARLY SO PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OFFENCE AS WE MUST PROTECT THE FISH
THAT GIVE US OUR SPORT.
Thursday 13th June
June has not only been a fantastically successful month so far
on the lake, we have also seen extreme opposites on the weather
front! From hot weekends late May/early June to the biblical
deluges of recent days! Nevertheless, the fishing has been
fabulous.. Sam caught two Common 17lb & 19lb, and an 18lb Mirror
to add to the 18lb beauty he landed earlier in the month.
Marcus continues his amazing success with two 16lb Common and a
22lb Mirror to add to the 20lb & 16lb Common and 7lb 6oz Tench
of early June.
In recent days, with the water levels higher and flowing from
the stock ponds into the main lake, Alan .. 23lb 6oz Mirror,
Chris .. 16lb 4 oz Common, Charlie .. 15lb 8oz Common and
Christian .. 14lb Common have all enjoyed successful days at the
beautiful & verdant Shillinglee.

It's been yet another busy weekend at the Fishery with Henry
landing another three fish - a small Mirror, a 6lb Tench and a
whopping 31lb 6oz Silver Common (pic to follow). Apparently the

Henry was 'well made up!'. Craig caught two beautiful Mirrors
weighing 30lb 6oz and 16lb 2oz respectively and Richard landed a
12lb Mirror.
The fish still haven't spawned so the Fishery is open as usual.

Wednesday 23rd May
Another 5lb 5oz Tench was caught by a Day Ticket on Tuesday
morning. However, it looks as though Charlie Duffy's 33lb 12oz
Mirror is going to be the winner of the Shillinglee Cup, unless
anyone can top this over the coming weeks!
Monday 21st May
Another well done to Charlie on his latest catch, an 18lb
Common. Also to Christian Dupont who caught an 8.5lb Tench, both
on Friday last week. Day ticket, Stewart also caught an 8.5lb
Tench on Saturday. We have had several enquiries about the
fishery being open and whether the fish have yet spawned.
Nothing to report as yet, but it is likely when that when the
fish do spawn that we will close for a week. We will announce
this on the website as soon as it happens. In the meantime, make
the most of the sunshine and keep fishing!
Tuesday 15th May
Charlie caught a monster 29lb 12oz Common, and on top of this
two more Commons weighing 16lb 8oz and 11lb respectively.
Darryl, a day ticket, also caught a 15lb Common. More Common
seem to be coming out of late compared to Mirrors, but certainly
the fish are feeding and beautiful fish are being caught.
The weather is expected to be glorious this weekend so we're
looking forward to some successful fishing!
Wednesday 9th May
Henry caught another two carp over the weekend, a 14.5lb Mirror
Carp and then a 24lb 10oz Mirror (photos to follow). Well done
Henry!
It was brought to our attention yesterday that three fishermen
had caught some Pike and put in bags to take away. They had been
advised by Andy, our bailiff that they should not be fishing for
Pike this time of year anyway, and certainly should not be
taking fish away from the lake. Their van registration details
have been given to the police and we hope we won't see them
again here at Shillinglee. For future reference, if anyone sees
any suspicious activity to call Andy or me on: 07774 269 838.
