Comments: Dave is a knowledgeable and very hard working guide and Dave and Ali are both great people. The carp weren't having it while I was there with only one 25lb fish banked. But on te 2nd day I landed in the region of 40 bass. Will definitely be returning.

Comments: A fantastic day, never carp fished before yesterday, but what a day it was. Dave was so helpful and encouraging and the surroundings sublime. Nothing was too mucheap trouble and our group of four hit it off so well, the icing on the cake was that I was rewarded with three excellent fish.I would highly recommend you try it girl's, not just for men. One of the best experiences I have ever had and if I return to Gran Canaria it will be the first trip I book !

Comments: I'd always wanted to fish Chira - it's one of the venues with real history and of course those fish are a bit special!! I knew Dave and Ali would be the right people to go with and they really helped to make it a memorable trip. It was seriously hot in the August sun but the fish still fed and we caught plenty of those scaly mirrors that the lake is so famous for. Dave knows the waters out there better than anyone and I knew I'd be in for a good time ..... and that's how turned out - a great time and plenty of fish!!!! cheers Dave and Ali :-)

Comments: What a honeymoon!, Just the two of us in a very tranquil place, piece and quiet, beautiful mountains and a lake which is a lot bigger then I first thought it would be. My wife learnt fast how to net the 25 carp I caught to 32lb over our 4 day stay... although sun bathing and a good book was more what she had in mind. Nights spent on the apartment veranda drinking and chilling together was just perfect although a bit of romance was in order later that week so we booked into a five star hotel for the remainder of our stay in a Gran Canaria... after all she had agreed to go carp fishing on our honeymoon. Dave and Ali were fantastic right from the initial booking right the way through to ensuring everything was in place on the bank to just to turn up & fish, we had a relaxed enjoyable stay so much so we shall be back next year hoping to beat my 32lb carp :-)

Comments: We spent 5 days at Lake Chira and had an absolute ball, the fishing was brilliant as was the weather (don't pay attention to the weather reports its completely different in the mountains) Dave and Steve are excellent, very knowledgeable and eager to help, We had loads of fish in the mid 20's and a few in the 30's we all left with PB's and huge smiles on our faces.

Comments: Dave, thanks for a great day yesterday (and not forgetting Steve as well). To beat my personal best caught many many years ago and to top that with a 22lb Mirror just completed a terrific day. The only downside was that my Dad (my fishing partner in crime for the last 47 years) was sadly not there but had he still been in the land of the living then he would definately have enjoyed it himself .......... albeit it might have been a bit hot for him !!. When I am next on the island I will without a doubt be making arrangements for another visit. Again, thanks for a great say.

Comments: We booked the 2 day special (1 day deep sea fishing and a day in the mountains carp fishing). Both days were great experiences but the Carp fishing was the crowning experience of our hols. We both got PB's - with fish ranging from 23-33lb and our guide on the day, Steve was a pleasure to have around and really added value with his experience and local knowledge and baiting techniques. It remains a memorable and outstanding highlight of our short trip to Gran Canaria and I would and have been recommending it to others (although I would like to keep this hidden gem to those who truly would appreciate the beauty and joy of fishing here.)

Comments: I had a days carp Fishing out with Dave and had an amazing day out. The location is unlike any other carp venue i'm used to with the rocky back drop. We had a few fish out with the biggest at 28 1/2lb I have to say the Carp in here are extremely strong and are some of the prettiest looking fish. Dave is very knowledgable and was good company throughtout the day. I highly recommend any of Daves trips. Cheers!

Comments: Just got back from Lake Chira. Had the fishing trip of a lifetime, 4 nights in amazing surroundings catching carp that put up a fight like nothing I've experienced in my 20 years of fishing,I couldn't tell the 30's from the low doubles till they were landed. I thought my arms were going to fall off, the fish were feeding so hard. I even had to take a night off, i never thought that was possible being such a keen angler. I was catching constantly through the day and night, on a couple of occasions there were runs on both rods the first time I needed a hand off the guy on a day excursion and .Typically i landed the smallest, shame as the other was the first 30 of the trip, he was over the moon though.These amazing four days came to an end with a total of 41 fish, the biggest being a perfect 33lb common. They were all caught on the simple tactics recommended, tigernuts and Daves special particle mix.I ended up using over 60 kilos purchased from Dave at a low price. Both Dave and the other guide Derek were great, at hand with whatever we needed. And anyone with a dubious other half? well mine had an amazing time basking in what she described as "paradise" We are both looking forward to our return trip and would recommend it to anyone.

The carp here are amazing, hard fighting, mostly uncaught and beautiful huge scales. The runs are absolute screamers i'm not kidding hold onto your rod! Dave and Alison will make your holiday run so smoothly you can relax and can enjoy the fishing and the sun. Come On The Carp!

Comments: Had a great day fishing Tues. 04 Sept. the wife outfished me once again and upped her personal best to over 25lbs. I caught two 19 and 18lbs and lost what I think would have been a monster!. Forget what tactics you used at home and listen to Dave, he will get you catching as he knows his lake. Its a lovely spot up in the hills peace and tranquility

Comments: Just got back from a 5 night trip on Chira, guided by Steve who worked tirelessly to keep us on the fish we took 28 between us up to 36lb. The fishing was fantastic, building up one spot in particular really paid off with 11 fish in the last 24 hours rounding off a brilliant trip. I can't recommend the guided option enough, Steve had us off the mark within 3 hours of getting the rods out on night one and they kept coming after that. We fished 4 different swims and caught from all of them with an average size of probably 23lb over the 4 days. Beautiful looking fish, all peviously unhooked in stunning surroundings I'm really hoping I'll make it back out to do it again.

Comments: just returned from hotel Vistamar grand canaria where i'd booked a 24hr fishing session on lake Chaira, Dave and Steve picked me up from the hotel at 8am and arrived at the lake at 9am.Fished with steve (fishing guide very helpful could have taken gold in rowing in the olympics. Steve rowed all baits out to baited areas, had ten runs between us, my best fish was a beautiful 20pound ghostie, not the biggest but certainly one of the rarest from lake Chira. Brilliant experience will definietely be back again, if only for the ride back down the mountain with Dave Beecham, all round top man!

Comments: Just returned from my holiday in Gran Canaria. During one of the days of my holiday, I managed to get away fishing with Dave from Canary Island Carp Fishing tours. When dave picked me up at my hotel at 6am, the temperature was already 36 degrees c and rising by the minute. I managed two stunning carp to low 20's after only 5hrs fishing. The lake is absolutely amazing, and dave and alison's hospitality is second to none. Anybody looking for the perfect remedy to the hustle and bustle of every day life should visit lake chira and relax in style! Keep an eye out for my future article on my trip in the angling press and on the nash tackle website. Joe Jaggar

Comments: Fishing was FANTASTIC! Did 2 trips, a 24 hrs session and a regular day trip. During the 24 hrs session I upped my PB 3 times, first with a 30lb common, then topped it with a real beauty of 35lb mirror. Had a beautiful night under the stars with just a bedchair and sleeping bag, I set my PB again at 36lb mirror. Had a great fishing mate, Steve from the UK and had so much fun together. On the day trip I did get an other one, a beautiful 22 lb mirror. Cheers Dave for the great fishing and Steve for the good company. I will be back soon!

Comments: Hi, Dave. Can't thank you enough for a great day out on Sunday. You sure know what the score is about Lake Chira! In only 6 hours fishing I smashed my PB with a 37lb 8oz mirror. What a stunning looking creature it was too. You said I would catch and so it proved, the fish putting up a tremendous fight into the bargain. My companions for the day, Henrik and Janne also had 2 thirties within minutes of mine and went on to have another 6 fish only 2 of them under thirty pounds!Excellent guiding skills coupled with genuine enthusiasism for your work make you the 'Boss'. Once again thanks for a memorable day and as Arnie said, "I'll be back"!
