Hello all

Anyone know how the bits fishing is going at killy lake these days?
Just getting back into fishing and remember having some cracking days down there when I was a nipper targeting tench and crucians (and out else that would nibble me worms).

Heard that the big lake goes mental for silvers in summer but used to fish the smaller one mainly (about 15 years ago), and remember it having some nice fish.

Any advice would be appreciated

Fished it last weekend - a fish a chuck- opposite the carpark to the right of the bench looking from the car park side- mainly perch but small roach and skimmers too.Wouldnt advise going there on a windy day though!! nevermind that though Leazes is fishing just as well - had 4 roach 5-8 oz, a bagful of perch and a gonk on Saturday

Champion, cheers Isaac.
Gonna give it a bash tomorrow, with me nephew.
Does anyone ever fish the small lake anymore?
Last time I looked it seemed shallower than I remember and a lot of the reed cover seemed to have gone.
Oh and someones put a bloody great fence right in front of what used to be me favourite swim for crucians!

Small lake still has fish in as they never got all of them after the clorine spill,weedy as hell but fish to be had,as jim says the big lake is fishing well,but then so is leazes,mad ,potty ken the chief has 6lb of fish out yesterday, and he forgot his maggots although liz found a few in his wallet when she got there!!!

Cheers lads

Had me a trip to Killy as promised and it turns out Isaac was right.
Jumped straight on the swim you suggested and bagged up on perch, with a few other species making a show too.
I'll have to give Leazes a go on the waggler next time I'm down there and chuck a boillie over to the island for good measure, just in case my luck changes and I can bag another carp.
Only had one fish out of there since I joined the club and to date its my biggest at 9lb.
Gotta get a double this year (or maybe one of the 20's if my luck really changes ).

Why mess about with the tiddlers,go for the 30 and join the elite

Heh Heh, gave it a go with a mate of mine last year, had a 2lb common and a screaming run that I failed to convert, that was it for the night.
Just before the run though I had a bizzare dream about some guy dumping rolls of carpet in the lake near the cage, they kept floating down and getting snagged on my gear.
Pretty bizzare, and ironic, "carp"et, wonder if it means anything?

Cheers for all the feed back, glad to be a member of such a friendly club.

Leazes is fishing really well for both carp and the bits, on the bits side its good to see the bags arn't just perch,with roach,rudd and the odd tench showing quite a bit now,and you can't fail with a bollie anywhere in the park,all in all,leazes is the mutts nuts!

you never done very well for the carp last saturday night

Anyone know whats going on at Fellgate?
Heard somewhere (can't remember where) that they're shifting all the fish from the reedy lake into the other one in preperation for deweeding and dredging it.
Anyone know if this is true?

Never done very well last night either,but my time will come and that will be thirty time!
