Vic had a big 34lb 2oz mirror from Virginia. Ben had a 31lb mirror from Willow as well as a 25lb and a 22lb. Nothing else reported yet. May we take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas to all our members and wish you good fishing in 2016.

Joel had two thirties and a 25lb out at the weekend and Ben recently had a nice 25lb 1oz linear also out of Willow. Nothing much to report from Virginia but Coot Lake continues to produce many mid doubles.

Recent catches, which have all been twenties, include three caught by Mark from Willow. Luke also had a twenty on an overnighter as did Jamie who had a very pretty 21lb mirror from Virginia.

Just got John’s catch report of 21 carp from Coot Lake including a PB common of 25lb 14oz from this lake. Also heard that a 29lb came out of Virginia this weekend despite the bitterly cold weather.

There have been a few out this week. Dan had at least three (possibly more) -commons of 28lb, 21lb and a mirror of 18lb. Vic had at least one – a 25lb 2oz common. Matt had fish I hear but no details. All these from Virginia during the week. No reports from Willow but Coot Lake continues to do well with everyone catching. the biggest recently has been a 25lb 14oz common caught by John.
