OLD OXFORDSHIRE GOLD ✨

One of the Orchid bailiff team slipped away for a quick session and unearthed this absolute relic of a mirror at 27lb.

Dark, ancient and full of character, these are the fish that make Orchid Lakes what it is. Not always the biggest on the bank, but certainly among the most memorable.
