General Comments:

We have all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Sky Lake. The hospitality and advice is second to none, 5 of us have broken our pbs and one young man has a pb for life probably after catching a unit of a fish at 80lb 12oz. Then we've had a brace of fifties, a few 40's, 30's, 20's and a couple under 20lb. Massive thanks to Andy Bernie and Rob for everything it's been a fab holiday and we are hoping to be back when we can. If there's any doubters out there about the place then take it from me you will be hard pushed to not enjoy your stay here and as I always say the catching of the fish is the bonus side of things and there are plenty of them to catch. Just listen to Rob and Andy and they will try their best to help you get a fish on the bank and always on hand to help out no matter what time of day/night, I lost count of how many times we rang Rob in the early hrs to help out. Just a couple of pics of the biggest fish we caught. Thanks a lot again from Simon and the gang.

Details of your catches:

Me and my mate came for the week and had 7 absolutely picture perfect carp all mirrors, the stock of carp in here has to be seen to be appreciated, seriously stunning carp every single fish. 2x 20s One at 32.3lbs One at 38.1lbs One at 48.1lbs One at 53lbs on the nose and a grass carp (55lbs)

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

‘Sky lake specials’ by munch baits is the only tactic that me or likely anyone who’s been can recommend along with the lake particle mix and house pellet (boilies crumbed up into the mix) was absolutely devastating, the fish are fed on it so it makes complete sense not to stray far from what works. It’s very very fairly priced, considering what other lakes charge for bait. With use of double boilies straight out the bag onto basic d rigs drop off inlines placed off the boat directly onto known feeding spots which Andy the owner had put us onto from the start of the week. Bottom line is listen to the advice given to you on the first day. It’s not the type of venue where flying in the face of authority will get you far, the way to catch them is to listen to Andy or Rob who are more than happy to help.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Shower room and toilet kept absolutely immaculate. Swims were all very spacious and none of the usual rubbish (tag ends loose tackle) on the ground, absolutely stunning place and kept very very clean and tidy by Andy.

Were you happy with them?

Extremely, could not have asked for anything more.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Absaloutly, amazing water, incredible fish, could not ask for anymore

General Comments:

Had an absolutely incredible week. Andy could not have done more for us. Considering we had very little experience fishing from a boat or fishing at any sort of range Andy explained everything to us in thorough detail for the style of angling required for this water. Not only this he bent over backwards for us ensuring that we had a good trip, the lake is absolutely stunning and surrounded by established woodland, the pictures do it no justice. Place is run so well and the big telltale sign of this is that most of the anglers you will meet here have been coming for a decade or more, always a good sign when a lake can keep people coming back for such a long time. We’ve already booked our trip next year before we even left the venue. Completely in awe with the week we’ve just come away with, massive massive thank you to Andy the owner and all the other anglers on the lake. Incredible place

Details of your catches:

3 stunning fish to over 40lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bottom bait, using the lake bait is the best option if you wish to catch.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, everything was great, facilities all clean, food was great, staff very helpful.

Were you happy with them?

Yes I was happy. I have some health conditions, which restrict my ability to fish how I would like, but the help I received was outstanding, I believe if I was fully fit I would have caught more fish, but 3 was more than enough for me. All 3 fish were good quality stunning fish. Andy went above and beyond to assist me.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would recommend this venue, but would like to add, if you wish to catch fish the lakes bait is the way to go, take advice from those running the lake, the fish eat there bait, and the staff really want you to catch. All those on the lake bait caught fish whilst I was there, with many PB's broken

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Good service, all went smoothly

Definitely saw more than enough to know this is a great venue. Andy, Rob and Bernie were great hosts! Big shout to Rob, who loaned me a bivvy after the wind ripped my bivvy out of the ground, snapping a pole....30 mins after arriving. Food was good! Already booked for next year.
