Details of your catches:

Not so good this time, we left 3 days early 1 catfish and only 3 carp no bites in the day it was very cold at night next time we go it will need to be a lot warmer as the fish just weren’t feeding

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We tried everything but the fish were not interested no one’s fault. It happens, that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching

Were the facilities what you expected?

All same as last time owner were nice as before just the fish didn’t like us this time

Were you happy with them?

All good not happy the fish didn’t want to play lol

General Comments:

Good place to come if it’s warm

Details of your catches:

54 fish landed, around 80 hooked. Biggest carp 44lb, biggest cat 115lb.
Loads of fish and tackle lost due to previous mentioned fence in swim 7. This is not just one hole but several where the wood posts have broken. If you own a lake with massive snags like this it should be barbless hooks only due to the risk of tethered fish.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

White pop ups on helicopter rigs. The silt on the far margin in swims 5&6 is deep so tackle up accordingly.
Don't fish with less than 30lb line if you are after the cats as they go straight into the tree roots.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, previous reports said its very basic and they were correct. The showers at the other lake were excellent but they need a bench or similar to sit on so you can get changed without standing on the wet dirty floor. Its a shame there is no electric at the lake as there is a power cable at the entrance.

Were you happy with them?

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Only if the snags are removed and the fence to the out of bounds area is repaired. I accept its the end of the season and the lakes have been busy but they need a good tidying. We found loads of line in the bushes, a broken rod, a broken landing net, drink cans and 10 rigs complete with hooks on the bank, don't walk about in bare feet!!! The lake owner is not responsible for the litter, its the anglers.

General Comments:

Very basic but it works. The Super Market is a fair drive and its closed 12.15 to 14.30 midweek.
If you are in swim 7 a barrow would be useful.
The far margin is where then fish are and it has numerous fallen trees in the lake, be warned if you go with 15lb line expect to get snapped up every day. Two lovely kingfishers and some unusual rats that climb trees!!
