Details of your catches:

Tough week for all 5 anglers on. The fish had clearly not woke up yet. I fished Willow peg as a single angler. And like everyone else I struggled. There were only 7 carp out for the week. In the end I landed 1 Mirror at 39lb, 4 bream and a tench. I Lost 2 at the net which is fishing. Note there are various marginal snags around the lake so I would advise to check where you plan to fish to see if they are any close to your spots. I fished locked up all week as they know exactly where they are.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Yellow baits on various rigs seem to worked over boilies, Bruno’s Particle mix and tigers nuts

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were excellent. Just be aware that willow peg is the furthest point from the toilet but there are bikes supplied. The lodge sits between Apple swim and the two single swims where there are fridges, freezers and power points.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, clean with plenty of hot water.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, beautiful lake, lovely owner. Just the fish didn’t play ball this time.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, second trip wilt AL and probably not the last.

General Comments:

Very quite week, only 9 carp caught between 5 of us. I fished the top bay and only saw 1 fish crash through the week but that’s fishing.

Details of your catches:

1 x 16lb carp only, all the carp were in Willow swim in the out of bounds area, they know that they are safe there and won't come out, unless you fish that swim you will be in for a hard session. We left after 4 days because there were no fish showing in our swim at all.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fish the far margins but not tight because the snags are huge, not maintained and will loose you fish and loose your rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Shower was good. Bikes need renewing as they were broken.

Were you happy with them?

Not really

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

No

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

No

General Comments:

Get rid of the snags to allow you to fish safely. *Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you had a hard time on the lake. We are aware there are some marginal snags that were not possible to remove due to high water levels this spring, the owner does intend to work on these when possible to do so which will make fishing a little easier.
