Temple's final big carp stocking has started - the final stocking for Temple lake has now started. Following months of preparation, netting has now started on a very special English lake from which Bury Hill are expecting some incredible fish, ranging in size from mid twenties to upper thirties with a strong possibility of a forty. Netting continues on and off over the next few weeks.

Weeks Overview - following last weekends soaring temperatures, the week overall has seen more seasonal temperatures with the odd good day. Fishing wise, this steady increase is far better that soaring temperatures which can cause all sorts of problems and generally Bury Hill have seen the fishing improve day on day with some excellent bags reported from all lakes along with plenty of carp and yet another NEW Temple 30’s.
The predator fishing has also responded to the warmer weather with both the pike and zander responding to the increasing water temperatures with a number of anglers catching multi bags.
Outlook for the week ahead is another good week with perhaps the odd heavy shower forecast. Temperatures are due to stay around the mid teens which will help water temperatures increase further which in turn will see further improvements in the fishing as we head into spring. This is typical April weather, with the odd heavy shower helping to oxygenate the water, which can really turn the fishing on.

From the 1st - 3rd April National Fishing Week will be exhibiting at the consumer show 'Go Fishing' at the NEC in Birmingham on stand P18A.

Neil Sellers from National Fishing Week commented "We are delighted to be attending a show the size and importance of 'Go Fishing'. It gives us the opportunity to interface with a public who are both informed and passionate about their sport. We aim to use the show firstly to encourage those members of the Angling community to sign up to hosting an event in their local area and secondly to promote the festival to people who may previously be unaware of its existence".
