I have found that the only fish I have are hundreds of small Tench 2" - 8" Maximum, I am puzzled as to why they are so small does anyone have any possible answers? In Nov/Dec 2007 I had the lake cleared and deepened so the lake now has the most water I have ever seen in it but the Tench I catch are still the same size as 2 years ago. The only other fish were the small Pumpkin Seeds (Sun Fish) that plague the shallow waters around the edges and 3 carp I was given in September 2007 (all under 10lb each) Thanks Mark

I once fished a private water like this in stourport about 20 years ago, and the owner ended up culling most of the tench. I went back about 11 years ago and the size of the tench was dramaticly bigger Drop me float there.......I'm in...............

If you put a gold fish in a bowl it will never out grow its environment . Our club owned a pool in the Malverns about 3/4 of an acre this pool I would say was well balanced tench, bream up to 5lb, roach rudd and perch up to 2lb. Oh and quess what pike and some idiot members wanted to get rid of them it was allready well balanced. Maybe that could be your answer introduce some pike no catfish though. Seek expert advice I don't no about France but if it was in England the the N R A Steve
