Frank, the lake’s bailiff, estimates that there are at least 20 fair size cats in Vaumigny. One of the larger specimens came out on the 8th of this month and you can see the impressive photo below! The beast is 2.1m (nearly 7 foot) long and weighs over 140lbs! It was taken from Swim 1 on a fish-based boilie. […]
Lee Johnston, our Lake Owner at Glehias, recently answered a query about the Catfish in the lake, a good read if you’re going out to the venue this year! Hi, beginning to plan for our visit at the beginning of July, hoping to have a go at the catfish as well as the carp, any advice or […]
So, after 5 months of working around the Carp and Cats lake at Holly Pools – it’s done for this year. New swims complete, path gravelled, plants starting to grow, leaves appearing on the trees. Bearing in mind I really have done little else but work on the fishery for the last 5 months, I […]
The anglers due this week at Molyneux were old friends from last year, which is always so nice, as it is truly a pleasure welcoming back familiar faces to the lake. Having been before they had predetermined what swims they were going to fish, mostly the same as last year. Keith opting for Social 1, […]
Will Winkles Out a Whopper!!! 16 year old Will Waterton of QES, here at Glehias for the week with his family – dad Mark, mum Claire and sister Nina from Lancaster – managed to bag himself a rather large Catfish this morning. Large enough to break the current ‘Juniors Lake Record Catfish’ at least!! […]
When Helen and I arrived at Molyneux the start of last year the Catfish record stood at 45lb. All through last year we had a number of 40lb plus captures but again the largest for the season weighed in at 45lb. This puzzled me slightly as surely there must be larger in the lake? This […]
70lb Congratulations to Rick for setting the new Old Oaks catfish record with a 70lb moggy! Last time out this cat was 60lb. Carp in the 50’s and 40’s are still coming out week after week. This really is a fantastic year for Old Oaks. Carp France
Around 160lb The Laroussi lake record catfish came out yesterday, April 1st. Of course we couldn’t have let you know yesterday or you would have thought we were just fooling around! Matthew Parker has landed the Laroussi Monster which has remained uncaught (or should we say unlanded since its been hooked & lost several times […]

Terry Banyard of the Mackinlay Party landed a 52lb catfish at 4pm on Sunday the 22nd of August at Glehias and has earned himself the “OAP’s Lake Record Catfish” award. The Maniac Moggie came from under the big overhanging Willow on the Gorse bank and was taken on a half Chilli Chocolate boilie combined with […]
Dan the Villefond catfish has come out 8lb heavier than last caught and is now 60lb
by Lee Johnson Being a lake owner doesn’t always mean you get to fish whenever you like. This May, I did manage to get a few days fishing in on Lake Lauren here at La Gléhias and decided to go for a Catfish or two as they are hooked often, but rarely landed as the […]
