The owners are passionate about fishing and are constantly looking to improve and iron out any imperfections. “How that is possible to improve upon I do not know I can’t find any faults at all!” We were made to feel welcomed the moment we arrived. Their hospitality was fantastic. The accommodation was clean, in fact spotless. We opted for the food package and it was incredible. The food was so good that I am not looking forward to going home!!! For anglers reading and comparing other Venus then DO NOT PASS THIS ONE BY BOOK IT.......You will not find one better. Well done and thank you Gary and Angeline

9 fish in total.

1 x common 13lb.
6 x Mirror 10.4, 11.8, 20.4, 20.11, 20.15, 21.10.

Following Gary’s tips and spots.
Margins during the day and open water at night. Both bottom bait and pop ups produced carp, although meatier baits preferred. Lake pellet and particle was used in the bait boat we hired, for accuracy and margins

Yes - better
Yes extremely happy 10/10. Although we slept in bivvies the accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well thought out. A great base for our weeks fishing.

A stunning lake and venue, with Gary, Angeline and Piper making us feel at home. The food package was exceptional and not to be missed. Overall a tough weeks fishing (due to the weather), but one I wouldn’t change at all. A truly special venue and one I hope to return to.

First time to this new venue and have been very impressed, Gary the owner was very helpful but not in your face. Angeline, Gary’s partner and co-owner was on hand to make you feel welcome and as part of the food package we had our last evening meal and Saturday leaving breakfast, which were both excellent and would recommend anyone at least giving it a try. Some of the photos with 2 people in are because I was suffering with a bad back problem and had to be helped by my friends.

A tough week, very hot and some spawning. With Gary's advice we managed 15 fish to 45lb 2oz. All fish in mint condition and very hard fighting.

We used different baits from pop ups to bottom baits with lake pellets all catching fish.

Yes
Very happy - accommodation very clean and tidy, well equipped with everything you need.
