Water color is rapidly returning back to brown now as the fish stir up more of the mud in the main lake.  The boathouse bank seems the most active at present along the deeper stretches mid way, also around the aerator on the right bank and the shelf swim on the far bank has produced some nice bags.  In the top lake the fish are quite active with the mid to deeper water areas producing nicely.

Heaviest fish for the week was a 24lbs specimen common carp caught by Exeter angler Mr A. Flaherty who also scooped himself a new personal best record with this catch.  Mr K. Hopkins of Gillingham also hooked himself a nice catch when he landed his 22lbs 4oz common amid a 4 fish bag.  Dorset angler Paul Beames finished his holiday at Creedy with is best bag of 12 fish whilst fishing on the far bank.  Below is Paul pictured with his 26lbs common caught last week and beneath was another large specimen of 22lbs.

Staffordshire angler James Wrigglesworth fished the far bank and landed two commons scaling 21lbs 3oz and 17lbs 9oz whilst Glenn Farrow also reported a  4 fish bag with commons up to 21lbs 3oz.  Sussex guest Lawrence Neale had a productive week at Creedy reporting 6 commons up to 19lbs 2oz and his best day Lawrence banked a total of 11 fish including a pair of green tench, a 14lbs mirror carp and 8 commons up to 19lbs 4oz.   Heaviest mirror carp for the week of 17lbs 2oz  was banked by Dean Willoughby of North Devon amid an 8 fish bag.  Dean also banked 6 double figure commons up to 19lbs 8oz, one single figure common and heaviest green tench for the week scaling 5lbs 8oz.  Crediton angler Stuart Greenslade banked a total of 8 fish during one session with 7 double figure commons  up to 19lbs 14oz along with a 9lbs mirror carp, on another session Stuart hooked just the one catch, a 19lbs 2oz common whilst fishing on the right hand bank.
