Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The lake was extremely peggy. All carp came from the corner of the lake closest to the river to 1 angler. Not a single carp seen in the rest of the lake. The carp all fell to 7ft Zig rigs with small bits of black foam. The catfish were caught on chod rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, absolutely perfect and everything we required. Everything was very clean and well looked after.

Were you happy with them?

Yes absolutely!

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, would advise them to go later in the year though when the carp are more active and spread around the lake.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

General Comments:

We arrived to find that the water levels had risen 3meters in the previous week and continued for another meter while we were there, this along with daytime temps 17-18 degrees then waking up with frosty bivvys did not help the fishing , nothing seemed to work but I believe this was due to conditions outside of our control, Bernard and Sophie are very friendly and approachable owners and we will be back again soon

Details of your catches:

2 20s, 3 30s to 38 and 10-12 bream which was a bit of a pain

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I found small patches of bait to be best tactic boilies or particle . I used pop ups to begin with but as the week went on I found bottom baits to be best .

Yes spot on

General Comments:

I found it a little tricky as most of the fish were held up in one corner of the lake. Out of 7 takes I only had takes off of one rod which I found a little strange as my other two rods were fished about 8 ft to the right and left of the middle with same tactics but I suppose that's winter fishing for you

Details of your catches:

9 cats from 70lb to16lb.
17 mirrors from 44lb.4oz to 21lb.8oz
5 commons from 21lb.12oz to 19lb 12oz
3 grass carp from 45lb.4oz to 23lb.12oz
2 bream

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Made good use of the boat to find our spots, tight baiting couple of handfuls of particle and boilies. Cell and tigers as baits

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes facilities are adequate. Water in the cabin smells a little. Did not concern us to much though

Were you happy with them?

Yes large freezer is useful

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes been 4 times with different friends

General Comments:

Would have to agree a previous anglers comment regarding catfish problem and how they are starting to dominate. The owner is tackling the issue by placing a large retaining net for anglers to place catfish in for the owner to remove. For each catfish we placed in the retainer he rewarded us with a bottle of champagne which we thought was a nice touch.
