[@jorvikangler]

Nice fishy. Well done chaps.

[@FishingInWales]

Thank you! A fish of that size is a rare enough catch, let alone for the camera.

[@jorvikangler]

@@FishingInWales Indeed.

[@mitchfishes]

Can you fish overnight? Looks great 👍

[@ChannelMan10]

Are you allowed to fish there with lures ?

[@FishingInWales]

Yes its any method including lures

[@danomoto973]

Are there carp in the res please guys

[@FishingInWales]

Yes, it once held Welsh carp record which was around 40lb. Not many in there though.

[@jeremedrakeFUFL]

Crazy for me to see you being so gentle there's a law here that we have to kill them if we catch em

[@FishingInWales]

Not here, a pike of that size is years old and the value it brings to a fishery is significant, attracting anglers. Handled well they can be re-captured many times.
