Winter On The Mead…..👌😊🎣…
Winter time down here on The Mead is just as spectacular as the summer.
Albeit, Cold, crisp and so pretty.
Most of the time we’re so busy, we forget just what a special place we’ve created here.
Every now and again though, we remember to sit back, for a couple of minutes, and just appreciate this wonderful, wildlife, Carpy, sanctuary.
Spring will soon be here, so will the 1st of March when we open, and once again our patrons will be enjoying our winter efforts😊👍
A First For Us…..😲…..
Very early this morning, just as dawn was breaking, I see a large, white shape on the bank in between Sadie’s and Willows. First thought was, “is that a swan?”, then I do a re-take.
For the first time, in almost 20 years on The Mead, I see a Great White Egret fishing, or angling, on The Mead.
I’ve got to say, it was a beautiful sight, and as I’ve allured to in the past, even after almost 20 years of being a custodian of The Mead, she always throws up some wonderful surprises.
Absolutely blown away🤷♂️😁🎣🎣🎣
Merry Christmas, to all our Patrons, new and Old. We hope you all have a great time over this festive period
Thank you for all your support throughout this year, it means a lot, and we look forward to seeing you all in 2026…..
The Olivemead Team😊👍🎣
The Year That Was…..2025!!!….
Another 10 beauties from our 2025 season.
These last 10 takes our tally of 30lb+ carp caught this season to over 80!!!!
There’s a couple left to go and about 12 pics which we didn’t get🤷♂️
So, well over 80 odd 30’s landed in 2025, not all different Carp but with the new additions we now have more than 60 different 30’s with a handful of 40’s residing in The Mead😁
They’ll be rested and ready to do battle with our anglers from March 2026💪😁🎣
