IN A fantastic display of angling prowess, Reading-resident Jo Green caught no less than 10 fish from the famous Horton Complex in Berkshire during a hectic 36 hours.

Such a number of these fish is highly unusual at this time of year with 10 representing a season’s total for some anglers.

Green’s tremendous haul of carp began at a weight of 16lbs 7oz and topped out at exactly 37lbs with a fish affectionately known as The Square Common, recognised for being an elusive creature.

Green said: “I arrived on a Friday night and set up my rods where I noticed the fish had been showing.

“At 5am on Saturday morning I was awoken to the sound of my alarms beeping and began the day with a 24lbs 8oz mirror carp, and continued throughout the day finishing with a total of eight carp.

“Sunday was a quieter day with just two fish, the last being caught in the dusk hours of Sunday afternoon – a 22lbs 3oz mirror carp.”

Green, a full-time tree surgeon has regularly fished the Horton and Wraysbury complexes for many years, and hopes to continue this run of incredible luck for the future.

Rupert Whiteman, is fishery manager at RK Leisure, said: “We are thrilled to hear of such an outstanding result for the Boat Pool, and with the fish weights on the increase we eagerly anticipate future reports from the venue.”
