General Comments:

Rob and Andy keep the lake in brilliant condition, making it an absolute pleasure to fish here. Both are incredibly welcoming and always ready to share helpful tips, which made our experience even better. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home, and everything ran smoothly without any issues. A special mention goes to Andy’s wife, who prepared a lovely dinner that added a personal touch to our stay—something you don't get everywhere. The fish in the lake are amazing, with plenty of variety and size to keep you excited throughout the day. The facilities are also top-notch. The toilet and shower were spotless, providing a level of comfort that’s much appreciated after a long day by the water. If you're looking for a relaxing fishing experience with great company and superb hospitality, this lake is a fantastic choice. We couldn't have asked for more and would definitely recommend it to anyone. We'll surely be back soon!

Details of your catches:

33 carp, biggest 52lb 3oz

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Single and double bottom baits and wafter, stick with the lake baits as we had most of the fish on them

Were the facilities what you expected?

Nice clean shower and toilet and the lake is kept in great condition with lovely big swims. We all had evening meals and they were great thanks to excellent cooking by Bernie, don’t waste your time cooking yourself.

Would highly recommend the lake but it’s not an easy venue but put the work in and the rewards are there to be had. 

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Always recommend angling lines to friends as a great company and always just at the end of the phone if you have any problems or questions

General Comments:

Many thanks to Andy and Rob who were always on hand to help out with anything we needed no matter what time of the day, the lake and the welfare of the fish are their top priority. All I would advise is to listen to them as they know the lake like the back of their hand. Drinks, snacks and bait on site all at a very reasonable price and finally thanks to Bernie for cooking some great meals for us all. Will return to try and entice one of the big girls out in the near future

Details of your catches:

I managed 9 carp all in absolutely immaculate condition! 20/30/40s up to an impressive lump of a common at 57lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Maize/pellet/boilie and a fair bit of it probably around 40 kilo of bait for the week and should have used more.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Hot shower/toilet and there is an eating area for breakfast and dinners.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

The fishing is challenging but the rewards are there to be had! There are some massive carp swimming about but they are definitely a challenge. Listen to the advice given it’s needed and will put you in good shape to get a few under your belt.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes always easy dealing with AL

General Comments:

It’s a challenging venue you need to pay attention and be on the ball to get the most from the venue. Andy and rob will give you the information needed on the lake/swims and the spots, you need to listen to what they say because the carp in sky lakes are no mugs. The lake isn’t for anglers wanting to go and just pub chuck rigs out or just drive a bait boat around all week, the advice and help is there for everyone so don’t be fooled into thinking your going to turn up and empty the lake because the chances are you not, but saying that if you fish well and get it right then the rewards are there in abundance.

Details of your catches:

34 fish to our group in peg 10,11,12. I had the most fish of the week with 32 fish 1 x 50 4 x 40s

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Slip d rig with wafters. We baited up from the start with the rowing boat. After every fish taking the bait boat out. With a mixture of nash citrus and skylakes specials plus the maze and pellets.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Not really. We found that the shower was in the house where there lived. And we felt abit rude and encroaching on there privacy.

Were you happy with them?

There did the job

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes definitely the lake is beautiful and the way it's peg out is perfect. Andy and the team are so friendly and welcoming.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes
