Don Pedro Lake, Tuolumne/La Grange, CA, USA

The California Department of Fish and Game stocks Rainbow trout and sometimes Brook and Brown trout between fall and spring.

Land-locked Kokanee and Chinook salmon are established in the reservoir and offer great excitement on the end of your fishing line.

Catfish, crappie, sunfish, blue gill and carp are among the other fish species found in Don Pedro Reservoir.

The Don Pedro Recreation Agency has been stocking Florida strain Black Bass in the lake on an annual basis since the early 1980s.

CREEDY LAKES, Crediton, Devon

Stewart Turner — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:29:57 +0000

Creedy Lakes, Devon

Creedy Lakes are set amid 14 acres of established estate woodland, lying in a natural clay basin along the Creedy valley. The idyllic surroundings are rich in fauna and flora with many small birds brave enough to sit on your rods and eat from your hand, you may even spot the darting kingfisher or a stray roaming deer, or watch the busy squirrels, whilst relaxing in this beautiful setting.

Once belonging to Creedy Park mansion, the spring fed lakes provided pleasure and sport for the gentry, owned by the Davie family for several generations including Sir John Davie who was three times mayor of Exeter and who took the kingfisher for his family crest. Eventually in 1976 the lakes were sold and are now owned and managed by the Turner family.

Most of the swims are pathed, all are level and screened to provide some privacy. The nearest swim is approximately 20yds from the car park and toilets with several swims being accessible for wheelchairs. Access by car for disabled anglers is strictly by arrangement. Assistance is gladly available for those who require it, please do not hesitate to telephone and ask.

The waters are rated as moderate fishing (By the BK Guide) and aim to provide good sport for the serious and specimen angler and also cater for the pleasure angler.

The main water contains the larger specimens covering 4.5 acres with both central and corner islands with water depths ranging from 3ft in the shallows to 12ft at the weir adjacent to the old boathouse. The prolific stock consists predominantly of common carp to 29lbs 4ozs (May 1997), mirror carp to 24lbs 14ozs, koi carp to 18lbs 3ozs and tench to 7lbs 8ozs.

The second water is half an acre and well stocked with carp to 14lbs and tench to 5lbs with water depths between 3ft and 5ft, providing good action for the less experienced angler.

Popular methods include fishing boilie over mixed beds of particles and pellets, PVA stringers and bags, the method and not forgetting the traditional baits, maggot, luncheon meat, sweetcorn and bread. Local home-made boillies and tinned baits are for sale on site.

The lakes are open from March through to early January

We hope you have an enjoyable time fishing at Creedy Lakes …. and remember ….

Leeuwarden City Parks, Friesland

Fishing in Leeuwarden City Parks, Friesland

Grasscarp (I think the English translation would be Chinese Carp) can be caught in almost every park in the city. In fact, in most city parks the Chinese carp have outnumbered “normal” carp.

Techniques: They can be caught in numerous ways, but I would recommend floatfishing. Make a few groundbaited spots and move around. I usually spend a max. of half an hour on each spot, because the carp are mostly patrolling the banks for food. Cast your float near obstacles, corners etc, and as close to the bank as possible. Bolt/rig fishing is of course possible too, but it’s less mobile.

Baits: breadflake, breadcrust (floating or sinking), dough, sweetcorn, pellets, boilies (after introducing), even a few grass leaves… You name it, they’ll eat it.

These carp seem to be quite stupid: I’ve had several occasions on which I got one in the net after a fight of 5 minutes, and ten minutes later I caught another one a yard or two from the first spot.

Locations: all cityparks in the whole city of Leeuwarden.
