Carp-france.com Latest News Article
by David Gordon
Catch results are just getting better and better with some catch reports that really do beggar belief.
Not only are we pleased with the numbers which are being caught right across the board we're also being continuously surprised by the weights which are being caught.
Particular note needs to be made of Lac de Laneuville where Mr Hannon and his party landed a new lake record, a fantastic 53lb 9oz common.
We're also amazed at the amount of big fish coming out of Vallee Lake 1.
Phenomenal results are being achieved with reference to a stunning 60lb plus mirror which bottomed the scales out. Congratulations to Richard Humphreys!
Not only that, Matt Page banked a 59lb'er from swim 4 (plus 2 x 47's, a 43lb, 37lb and a 24lb'er), Nick Quilter had a 51lb'er from swim 9 and Gijs Bouderz had a 58lb 12oz from swim 5.
As usual, a selection of reports have been put below with a few photos to wet the appetite.

This is easily the best start to the season at Lac de Laneuville with the numbers of 30's coming out each week outstripping 20's every week. The most fantastic thing is the number of 40lbs coming out and, of course, we now have a brand new lake record - a stunning 53lb 9oz common coming out to the Hannon party (15th - 22nd May '10) Congratulations to them. This lake really is proving to be superb with accommodation to match.

Dave, who fished days only said, “Fishing was slow to start, no fish until Wednesday due to the weather conditions of rain and very cold north winds. But I kept plugging away and got the results!”
