Latest report 28feb10:February has been a great month for our guests,especially after the rain and storms,we have had on the island.I think nearly every lake on the island is 100percent full,apart from Soria,which has a certain depth,which it is kept at 40percent.Just before the storms,Kevin from Kent had a 40lb common from the lake of St.Nicholas,on the Nash gear,he was well pleased,with a new PB!lake Chira has been fishing extremely well,now that the water is up,it has created new hot spots and we have caught lots and lots of carp.The last weekend of Feb,Craig and Rob had 11 fish to 29lb and myself with 4 fish.The week before our guest from Denmark,Jock and Christina had 9 fish with the biggest being a 30lb fully scaled,again I managed a cheeky session and had a 37lb and another 4 fish!The lake has definately woken up with all the new water,and it has made the fishing a whole lot easier,as we can now fish off our private area at our lakeside complex,a beer in one hand ,a rod in another with the BBQ,and 80degrees sunshine,what could be better!Hopefully march will bring another good month,I will let you all know.
All the fish falling to the Nash gear,dont forget for the full range of tackle and bait,click on the logo and this will take you straight onto the Nash website.
Flying high with Thomas cook and Tui!
Also new for 2010,for groups of 4 or more staying in our lakeside apartment,we have our on-site chef cooking your breakfasts and evening meals!
cheers Dave and Ali ..

Taken a little while to add a comment (due to work commitments) but fished with Dave just before Christmas and had an excellent day (despite the unusually bad weather). Broke my PB 3 times in just over 2 hours with the biggest at 28lb. First class Nash gear and bait and an excellent guide in Dave. His enthusiasm is infectious. Looking forward to coming back in 2010

Hi Dave
Just getting in touch to thank you for a great days fishing on the 9th. I was gutted
that we could not get another session in the following week but the storms beat us
I tried calling you to thank you for the trip the day before we came home (Friday)
and I spoke to Allison as you were picking punters up at airport, and she told me
how the lake had risen about 20 feet, I bet the fishing improved after that.
I have attached a couple of photos incase you want to use them for your website
although I know you took your own.

I have sent a picture and catch report of the 36.lb Mirror to CARP TALK. I have
explained a few details about the capture and also how helpful you are. I hope this
helps you to get a few more bookings.

I expect it to make the issue that comes out here on Wednesday 3rd March.
Will definitely be seeing you again.

LATEST REPORT 03JAN 10:A great end to December,with a few more fish,before the heavens opened and gave us the worse weather in 3 years!Huge amounts of rain filling most of the lakes to the top,all in a few days,fantastic for the island and certainly a godsend for us!I fully expect the fishing to slow down a little as the water has a heavy colour and a lot of cold water running from the mountains has gone in,but with rising temperatures,hopefully not for too long!It does make it a bit more difficult,but we are still managing 5 or 6 fish in the opening of Jan 2010..
Well done to Ade to his 27lb and a 23 and 28 to Reeka and boyfriend from Finland....
Happy new year!

Many thanks to Dave and Ali for a superb 3 days fishing. You cant ask for much more than 10 fish in 3 days with the temperature around 20 degrees in the middle of December.Dave knows the lake like the back of his hand and with the bonus of using quality tackle from the Nash range, it doesnt get any better.

Cant wait to get back next year for another go.Thanks again

We have just returned from Gran Canaria where we spent 2 exhilarating days Carp fishing with "Dave" an enthusiastic, charming, and extremely knowledgable guide.Although experianced in fl fishing we were novices with regards to Carp fishing.We were picked up from our hotel and driven for 1 hour ,deep into the magnificent Canarian mountains. (This was an added bonus to our days). By the side of a beautiful lake, Dave set up our rods, bait & lines were then deposited well out in the lake by means of a remote controlled boat.Since Dave's expertise had placed these just right, it was not long before we had our first bite.We landed a magnificent example of a mirror Carp.Full boddied with a shimmering coat of armour.every scale in perfect order.It weighed 23lb, 3 more were to follow with weights of 15lb, 28lb, & 32lb.On our second day out, we were joined by fishing virgin Mark who's hands shook so much during landing his first fish,we wondered what he was bringing to shore.The excitment generated by us all was electric.We netted 6 Carp that day, with weights of 2@ 24.5lb 1@ 28lb 1@ 29lb 1.19lb.
Both days ended with a return through the cathederal type mountains to our hotel where we certainly needed to rest.Dave is a true master, without him none of this unforgettable trip would have been possible. we will be back in January. If you visit this Island and want to experience the ultimate in fishing, we guarantee you Dave is the man to call. Many thanks again Dave. Val & David

Best carp fishing
carp fishing on day 1 Gran Canarie been quite a hit first time we picked up at our hotel by Dave himself. And three hours later I have my first carp Gran Canaries in my hands. From £ 28 in total I caught 5 carp. The first, as I said weighed 28 pounds the second weighed 18.50 pounds. The third was the heaviest weighed 32 pounds and the back quarter weighed 28 pounds. And neither one of aftesluiten for £ 22. Greetings from Belgium and we see each other again soon Dave.

Shame about the wind,being over 14 knots,as we was looking forward to the helicopter trip up to the lake,but never mind safety comes first!The fishing certainly made up for it,with an arm aching day of 4 fish and 1 lost,the largest being a 28lb fully scaled ,and 3 20s.These fish are really strong and great fun,lets hope there is no wind at christmas and I can
fullfill my dream of going carp fishing in a helicopter!
