Les told me he was down at Ashmead last week. So hopefully they were formulating a plan. ☺

Just returned from four days on the pool where we had 16 fish between the four of us.
I personally had 4 to just under 20lb, three of which fell to a single grain of corn on a 14 hook, using the Constable forty fore and Altex combo whilst fishing the extreme shallows.
Good time had by all and the pool is looking majestic.
Nice fishing Gurn, was just wondering whether the fish you caught were all commons or are there some mirrors or leathers being caught?
It seems that the fish are reverting back to fully scaled fish, is this the case?
Best regards
Mem
Mem, The fish in Redmire have been reverting to commons for a while and in the last couple of decades fewer mirrors and nearly no leathers were caught. One of Les's plans was to reintroduce mirrors and leathers by having Redmire fish bred at Sparsholt college and the mirrors and leathers selected and reintroduced. About 7 years ago around 30 small fish were released into the pool.
Cheers mate, think I've had around 25 carp from the pool now, and only one was a recapture.
