King of the Pond who sponsor this column have been doing alot of underwater photography during the last couple of years and have kindly sent in a photo of the mirror carp known as Pecs who lives in North House Lake.

Avid Carp’s Steve Sharp & Mark Woolley found an ice free area of the canal to fish but it was also devoid of any feeding fish. The duo took a couple of pics of Steve fishing in the snow and also a friendly robin that they fed.
