🎣💚🇬🇧 A VETERAN, A VERY SPECIAL SWIM & ONE BEAUTIFUL CANEY CARP! 🇬🇧💚🎣

Huge congratulations to our Veteran Ambassador Robbie on landing the absolutely stunning “The Pretty One” from Caney! 🐟👏

And WOW… just look at her! 😍

Those colours and those incredible scales — she really is one of the prettiest carp in Caney! 🤩🐟💚

Caught from our very special “Rixy’s” swim 🇬🇧🟥🟨, this one feels extra special.

Robbie isn’t just one of our Veteran Ambassadors — he’s someone who gives so much of his time, heart and support to Hilton Valley and our veteran community. 🇬🇧

So seeing him out on the bank, enjoying the fishing, making memories and slipping the net under a fish like this genuinely means a lot to us.

Robbie, thank you for your service, your friendship and everything you do. ❤️🇬🇧

What a fish. What a capture. And what a place to catch her.

🚨 THIS POST IS DIRECTED AT TWO ANGLERS — AND TWO ANGLERS ONLY. 🚨

To the two people who were fishing, RJL and Vikings Rest today…
Our Bailiff has picked up this bag of rubbish left behind in Vikings Rest after you left this morning. 🙄

Leaving rubbish behind is not only disrespectful to the anglers who come after you, but plastic and other rubbish can also be harmful to our fish and wildlife if it makes its way into the lake.

And here’s the cheeky bit… 😏
You passed the bins on your way out!

We provide bins, so there really is no excuse for leaving rubbish around the fishery.

Sadly, it's a sign of the times and the disrespectful behaviour we sometimes have to deal with.

The two individuals concerned have been identified by name and will not be permitted to book or fish at Hilton Valley Carp Fishery again.

That decision is based solely on your behaviour — not anyone else's.

❤️ To all our other anglers who visit Hilton Valley — thank you.
You respect the lakes, the fish, the wildlife and the anglers who come after you, and we genuinely appreciate it.
You’re the reason we love having you here. 🎣❤️

🔥🐟 36LB 2OZ OF PURE CANEY MAGIC! 🐟🔥

DEAN HAS DONE IT AGAIN — AND THIS ONE IS A BEAUTY! 😍

❤️ “SLIDER” — A SUPERB 36LB 2OZ HILTON VALLEY A TEAM LEGEND! ❤️👏

What an incredible catch for Dean, landing this stunning Caney carp from Dogleg Swim!

There’s something pretty special about slipping the net under a 36lb+ Caney A Team Legend… and Slider is certainly a fish to be proud of! 🔥

Huge congratulations, Dean — what a fish, what a catch and what a Caney memory! 👏👊💚

🐟💚 PAUL’S #2 FROM MEAD’S 🇬🇧 — “PATIENCE” 💚🐟

Paul’s Caney session just kept getting better! 👏🎣

We shared Paul’s first-ever Caney carp separately — and quite rightly so, because landing your first Caney carp is a huge moment in itself… especially when it’s a new 30lb+ A Team Legend! 🔥🐟

But that wasn’t the only fish Paul landed from the very special Mead’s swim 🇬🇧 during the same session…

#2 “Patience” 🐟
A beautiful, dark mirror and a well-known Caney carp.

Paul’s session gave him not one, but two stunning carp from Mead’s 🇬🇧
including his very own new A Team Legend. 👏💚

What an incredible session on Caney, Paul. 🎣🐟💚

🐟💚 PAUL’S FIRST CANEY CARP — AND HE’S JOINED THE A TEAM! 💚🐟

2nd September 2026

What a way to land your first Caney carp! 👏🎣

Paul Howlett has done it in style, landing a stunning 30lb 2oz carp from Caney Lake — making this beautiful fish one of our very special A Team Legends! 💚🐟

And we’ve given Paul the honour of naming his first Caney carp…

❤️ Welcome, Connor’s Common! ❤️

A very special name for a very special first Caney carp, named after Paul’s son. 🥰

Caught from the very special Mead’s swim 🇬🇧, this is one catch Paul certainly won’t forget!

Huge congratulations, Paul — and welcome to the A Team Club! 👏🎣💚

A massive congratulations to Danny Cole on landing a new personal best! 🎣👏🏻
🔥🎣 A TEAM LEGEND — 35lb 8oz!

And of course… the PB bucket brigade was waiting! 🪣😂💦

We love a good PB celebration — but we love it even more that Danny made sure his fish was safely back in the water before his mates decided he needed a shower! 😂👏🏻🐟❤️

The fish was safe.
The scales survived.
Danny… not so much. 🤣🪣💦

That’s one way to celebrate a new PB! 🎣😂🙌🏻

🔥🎣 A TEAM LEGEND — 35lb 8oz! 🎣🔥

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Danny Cole on landing “A Team Legend” — Liam’s Lin at an incredible 35lb 8oz! 😍🙌🏻

A fantastic new PB for Danny and what a fish to do it with! 💪🏻🎣

Landed from one of Caney’s very special swims — ‘Rixy’s’ 🇬🇧❤️

And Danny… you’ve officially joined the A Team Club! 🏆🔥

Caney is a very challenging lake, and that’s exactly what makes the reward of an A Team Legend like this so special.

What a capture, Danny — absolutely outstanding! 👏🏻
