THE best-looking day ticket CARP in the UK!

Күн бұрын

A 72-hour trip to the historical Orchid Lake in Oxfordshire turns into a red letter day, as I catch 42 fish including one of the best-looking day-ticket carp in the UK, Morgan's at 36lb. I've fished this water on and off for almost thirty years. I talk about what I've learnt during this time, covering best swims and tactics to try as well as which fish are the main targets of the anglers. This is part one of two films on Orchid, the second coming next month when I look at surface fishing and manage to land the biggest fish in the lake known as Delilah.

Another top quality blog. The red kites had a breading progam in Buckinghamshire a few years ago, I'm surprised you didn't see more? They are a daily site for us, even nesting in our garden trees

Great session Si & some awesome fish, I fished orchid & the alamo swim about 20yrs ago but in all honesty I was a little bit out of my depth has I'd only been carp fishing a few yrs, it was like a football pitch in front of there & I just wasn't experienced enough, after watching that I'd love to return & put things right, you usually make it look easy 👍

Yeh it’s a funny lake John, I’ve fished it loads of times and each time I return I go back with a bit more info, defo worth a return trip mate 👍

Did you have exclusive access, lake looked devoid of anglers? Great result and some brilliant fish. I went there in 2018, water levels were very low but managed a few bites on a 24hr session. Be lucky 👍

No mate there were other anglers fishing. A couple of well-known anglers fished the Alamo a few days before and blanked. I just timed it right, they were on the munch big time 👍

Simon I've followed you for years even before there was KZfaq used to read your stories in the magazines. I am now working on the m4 and noticed some big pits spoke to reading district angling phoned the local tackle shop i really do love the look of big pits old lakes with history. I've always fished brickworks and old resivours down my way don't really have a lot of time on my hands with work and family i have to do this for me by myself but would appreciate some advice from you i fish the same bottom rig as you always have I'm not about looking fancy just what works

Was this a private session. Lake looked very empty. 4 of us fished it the week before. Powleys and the Drum and a double swim over the other side. Was sooooo weedy. Only saw 4 fish come out in the whole lake over the 72 hour session, two of which were from the same swim your in 2 guys from 5 star baits.
