Town Parks Fishery Catch Report w/e 22/7


Good catches were reported form both lakes at Town Parks Fishery this week.

The lower Specimen Lake provided sport from most pegs.

Peg 1 saw Matt Drury testing out new baits for a bait manufacturer with great success. Drury banked 7 Carp during his session with fish freely taking the baits placed mid water.

Local rod Dan Smart banked a fine personal best Mirror Carp which tipped the scales at 20lbs 1oz! Smart’s squid boilie tempted the fish.

Good Catfish came to the bank the best reported was 23lbs 4oz from peg 14 that fell to luncheon meat.

On the top Match Lake large bags of Carp were taken from dam wall pegs and from the side of the main island from 10.

A group of students from Kevicc, Totnes visited daily for tutored sessions.
Several banked Carp to the 5lbs mark with one lucky student taking six Carp during one session!

Maggot and Castor continued to tempt the Silvers with a couple of 100lbs + bags reported.

On Friday 27th July Devon Firemen Steve Wright and Kevin Carter start their marathon Fish-A-Thon in aid of the Fire Fighters Charity.

During the seven day event Wright and Carter aim to catch 1000lbs of fish 5lbs and over. This will clearly take a lot of doing but the boys are confident that, with helpful advice from the regular anglers they can beat their target.

Collecting buckets are at the Fishery and everybody is welcome to call in and support the challenge and chat to the lads.

You can also donate to The Fire Fighters Charity via the Fishery’s website at www.townparks.net.

Please help us to raise as much money as we can – you never know when you may need the Fire Service!
