Nether Stowey Lake 100709
I had to use my Korum Specimen spoon for the catch shot, I hadn't counted the total numbers of fish, although in several test half hour spells my pal Slim who was watching reckoned I was putting around 15-20 lb in the net. In the end there was around 100 lb of fish in the net. I caught mostly on soft pellet at full depth while I also had fish shallow and on the paste and some on corn. Oh and I also had a few skimmers and roach in another net. Some lads fishing floating bread had a couple of 5-pounders and another guy fishing at the windy end of the lake netted an 8-pounder just as I was leaving. I didn't get among the bigger fish but from a match angler's perspective this could be a very busy water for small club matches and knock-ups. The second lake is due to open next year and will double the available peg count. © 2009 Brian Gay
