Skimmers are feeding well, but the carp are not so much. A few carp have been lost, as has all over the Midlands.
I have seen a few carp on the bank today, inc a couple of doubles. I would aim at a skimmer approach, either pole or open ended feeder, and take a carp as a bonus.

I have heared about a KHV outbreak in the Midlands, its not here, not yet anyway, lets just hope it doesent, but at this moment, i know how all those farmers felt when the foot and mouth outbreak was anounced!

Ive heard that most of the fish out of the lake, are now swimming very happily up and down the river Blythe.

Roll on the next flood, so that they can come back. Ha Ha

Info for the pops lads.Barston has suffered a major fish kill mainly the carp i have informed graham and he has tried his best to book another venue after speaking to the guys at barston but because of the coach being booked and the late notice he cannot get a suitable change of venue. so it looks like a silver fish match with maybe the odd carp if your lucky. just thought i would let you know in advance so you can alter your bait plans etc.tight lines Ray

it would be nice of nigel to let match secs know well in advance not us find out two days before the match!

Ten days ago a match was won at Barston with a high 90lb weight of carp and the same match had silver fish weights of around 45lb, if and only if there has been a fish kill it has happened in the last few days, which certainly has not hit the grapevine in Birmingham a few short miles from the venue. Now what is doing the rounds in the Midlands is KVH which has closed one fishery or part of it at least, so I would suggest that you lads make sure your nets are dried preferably in sunlight after your match, and please note that I have NOT said Barston has KVH, hopefully Nigel will respond to your posts about his fishery and advise on the extent of any fish deaths he may have had.

The official word from Nigel is that he has lost maybe upto 200 carp out of a stocking of 13000, to a cause as yet unkown, he is of course worried that it may get worse, I would be if it were my fishery, but its not unkown to loose a few and for the fishery to totally recover.
