Following the coldest winters for a number of years, it was no surprise that it took a while for the carp to start to show. However, the last few weeks has seen plenty of early spring activity on Temple with the new stockies showing well together with a good number of 20's, 30's and even a 40lb. Below are a few of the bigger fish reported over the last few weeks.
NEW TEMPLE MEMBER BANKS NEMO AT 40LB...
The last few weeks has seen anglers bagging plenty of early season fish on Temple which has included 8 thirties, and the word was that a forty is due out any time. New member Sam Doherty fishing his very first day session on Temple took the honours and bagged Nemo at 40lb on the nose. Weighed and witnessed by Bury Hill supremo Matt White, Sam was fishing peg 15 catching on a 16mm Sticky Baits Krill boilie which he fished to the mid water to the left hand side of the island.
With the activity on Temple building, Sam also lost a nice fish during his short day session as did the angler on peg 12 who lost two!
