Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tried everything from big beds of bait and solid bags but bright pop ups seemed to be what the bites come on. The clay bar opposite the spit did the majority of the bites and the margins did the fair share also. However we lost in excess of 15/20 fish due to hook pulls the mouths are ridiculously soft so take extreme caution when playing fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were spot on as described, 3 fridges and massive chest freezer for bait and the addition of a double hob saved on cooking at your swims. However the hot water in the shower doesn’t last much longer than 2 people a day so make them quick ?

Were you happy with them?

Yes very much so!

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Not on this occasion for this venue I’d say there’s no way I would fish this venue with more than 5 anglers at MAX or you will fight over water due to the shape of the lake.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes Angling Lines are fantastic second trip without any problems whatsoever.

General Comments:

Go prepared to fish a soft or silty or clay bottom as that’s what’s in front of you pretty much everywhere. Gear up with big hooks and be gentle playing fish dropping them after 10 seconds into a run isn’t ideal but it’s likely.

General Comments:

Can't wait to come back when fish are even bigger

Details of your catches:

13 fish - 3 x 40's, 4 x 30's, 6 x 20's.
Some very hard fishing early on in the week, when it was wet and cold. More bites at the end of the trip as the weather improved.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We caught on dark Boilies ( Krill, ASM) and Pellets, in the deeper water around the far edges.
We fished 12 rods off the Spit, but caught most of the fish off the bank in front and to the left of the Spit.
We lost a few fish snapping off on the Ledges trying to bring them up from the deeper water. We were also snapped by Pike going through our lines chasing bait fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The Facilities were good. They were exactly what you require. Somewhere to cook and store food/Bait and a nice hot shower.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would recommend this lake. The owners were very nice and helpful. The lovely warm pancakes brought down on one our wet and cold days were much appreciated.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, all questions answers very quickly and no issue with the booking.

General Comments:

For those who enjoy a bit of float fishing and Perch/Piking, worth taking some gear as it was great sport in the quite times.

Details of your catches:

1 Mirror Carp 33.04lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tryed everything from bottom baits to pop up rigs, big baits, little baits. Heavy baiting to light baiting. Nothing seemed to work. In the end a ronnie rig topped and a PVA bag with pellet, tigets and crushed boilie got a bite on the last night.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, toilet and showers were clean, 3 fridges and a BIG chest freezer were great for keeping food fresh.

Were you happy with them?

Yes very much so

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would, although we only had 1 fish between 2 of us we know thats part of angling. Lake is in a nice area with shops 10 minutes away.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes
