Steve Briggs with Canadian Carpin'
On
the second week of October we were very pleased
to have Steve Briggs and his lovely
partner Joan with us.Check out the "carp
videos " page for our new video featuring
Steve Briggs incredible week fishing with
Canadian Carpin. Also be sure check out our
photos page for Steve's catches.
Steve Briggs experienced a remarkable week here
landing impeccable St. Lawrence carp to 39lbs !
Steve, more than once remarked on the sheer
power of the carp here, that once they find your
bait they shoot off providing screaming takes
followed by unmatched hard fights all the way to
the bank! Steve banked in one week with us 112
carp, day fishing only, which included
fifty-four carp in the 20lb to 30lb bracket,
fifteen carp in the 30lb to 40lb bracket with
four commons over 35lbs (36lb-36.6lb-38lb & his
St. Lawrence P.B. a stunning 39lb.) Steve not
only achieved his St. Lawrence P.B. on this trip
with Canadian Carpin, but also landed the most
carp and the most 30's he has ever had in a one
week session!
Also
out with us on the same week were two anglers
who we think are quite possibly the funniest
people we have ever met, Gary & Rob (the wig
man) or Moose & Elk as Joan had endearingly
called them, not only did they keep everyone in
stitches each evening but they also had a
cracking week fishing wise with loads of 20lbs+,
and four 30's (35lb- 30lb- 31lb-32lb.) John
Houghton & son out with us for their first time
banked their P.B.'s with a 30lb and a
35lb.
Last week started slow with carp to 27lb' BUT
the weather turned with strong winds from the SW
and the fishing stared to bang!! with Adam
Goldwater landed he's PB of 30lb 4oz and Chris
Paul with he's PB of 30lb 8oz. Tubzy & Beefy
with 5 mates had a good time with loads of 20s
and some 30s from 32lb+ to 38lb 4oz.

banking their share of 20's as well as some 30's 32lb 8oz, 31lb+, two 30lb+. On
their second morning out on the river Nick Fisher started off by banking a
lovely 26lb common followed up by reeling in a hard fighting carp that
unfortunately to Nicks dismay was lost at the net, the big common was estimated
in the 40 lb bracket.!!! Excited & determined Nick recast on the baited area in
40 feet of fast flowing water and was soon rewarded with another screaming take
and after a hard battle landed a stunning 41lb common.

Swims during an 8 hour session!
May:
Another fine start to our season!
As usual during the month of May, the St.
Lawrence River rewarded many of our very keen
anglers with some impressive catches. May at
CCH’s saw a near even split of repeat and new
guests here, all eager to experience the great
battles the carp residing in this river offer to
those who fish them. Here are just some examples
of May’s rewards:
“The Boyz”
Craig, Kevin, Gary,
Ray, Terry, Alan, Chris & Bob landing numerous carp during their week up to
35lb+ with loads of 20s and a 32lb+ Mirror!! And one day spent at our Commons
Lakes offered the anglers carp to 30lb+. Another week of guests, which included
Budx3, and newcomers to the river Nigel x 3, Harding x 3 and Dave Regan having
an accomplished week full of carp to 36lb+, 25lb Mirror plus Alan Knellerx3 all
had a good week with carp to 38.8oz . They were all very chuffed to experience
some hectic fishing periods during their week… that only the St. Lawrence can
provide!! The following week saw Keith & John, also newcomers, have a very
memorable first day with 46 takes in one day!! Rocky & Bob also experienced some
of the same with 42 takes in one day, banking 36 carp with numerous 20’s & 30’s
and Rocky was grinning like a Cheshire cat with his 40lb+! And Kevin & William
Price had no complaints with 34 takes all in one day giving them carp to 36lb.
We would like to mention some day catches from
all our guests but that would make for quite a
list by the end of our season. Suffice to say
that our guests repeated the above mentioned
catches on many days throughout May.
May was not without a few patchy periods
however, which on average lasted a day or two
and was entirely due to weather conditions, but
all in all May fished quite favorably for our
guests with carp
to 40lb+ loads of 30s & 20ssss,
