General comments: Not an easy place to fish, a few people blanked on my trip, but if you put the work in, and prepare correctly in setting traps for the fish then you cant go far wrong. Marker Road essential, need to explore ALL areas of your swim. Rob and Les are top drawer blokes, Les' cooking is exceptional. Both Rob and Les are an absolute credit to the fishery! 10/10 guys! PS- If your going for the cats then make sure your gear can handle it, as they will smash you without too much effort. Go stocked with coated leadcore leaders!
