approximately 20 fish to 40.10. A good mix of mirrors, commons and grass carp

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bottom baits, Berkley Gulp Red Crustacean proved the most effective but managed to catch some fish off the top on fake dog biscuit and chopped pop-up whilst stalking which was great fun.

Yes. the complex and hosts are excellent. Very welcoming and always willing to assist. The holiday was made more enjoyable as another family were staying which meant the children seemingly played and played.

A fantastic place to take the family and fish, will definitely be going back

Details of your catches:

Apart from the fish we did catch it was fun chasing the 2 big fish that got away. Despite climbing the big willow tree with the rod, negotiating around the aerator intakes only to lose the fish in the brambles after one hour. The other big fish took the bait during the early morning thunderstorm on Wednesday which meant waiting for the lighting to stop before picking up the rod. This fish went to the brambles on the left bank which meant I had to wade into the lake to reach the fish, only for it to throw the hook and leave the line wrapped around a underwater branch.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We found the dinghy to heavy to carry from the main lake which probably would have made all the difference but we will know next time. Still that's fishing.

Sorry that we missed you because we had to leave a day earlier than planned, but I wanted to thank you and Sharron for a wonderful time. Although we didn't catch as many fish as we wanted it was still great fun and I am hoping to return at the earliest opportunity.
