One of the lakes I've just joined has announced the fish have started spawning today so it's closed (obviously) ... seems really early this year considering the weather!

No sign of spawning up North yet. Obviously the tropical weather down South has induced them.......

My mate videocalled me yesterday from our syndicate lake, definitely looked like they were getting jiggy.

We haven't had much wet weather, so although its early the water temperature won't have been cooled down too much.

Lower night air temperatures don't appear to have cooled the water down, and with plenty of day time sun mean the water is likely to be quite warm.

Any Bream in there? normally go just before the carp by a week or two, couple of plums on our syndicate always get excited when the bream go saying its the carp you'd think by now they'd of worked it out happens every year.

A general rule is bream start at around 17 degrees water temperature and carp at 18 to 24 degrees and then usually when its been constant for a week or so, obviously shallow enclosed generally smaller lakes and location all have an input as to water temperature add the North South divide and our typical British weather it can vary quite considerably from lake to lake area to area.

I don't think so... if there are any left not many, and very few other species.

Surprising as typically you need consistent 18degrees. Maybe they're fed up of waiting for the warm weather to arrive 😂
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
