General Comments:

Overall the weather was poor and did not help with the fishing which was really hard......the water level was really low --5 feet which did not help!! ....the local shops which is a 20min drive away were great everything you need to get, the locals were really pleasant..........

Details of your catches:

28 fish in total, 4 cats to 66lb, 8 grass carp to 42lb, 16 carp to 41lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Particles seemed to work well but the fish were all bunched up in one area of the lake and did not move out for the whole week meaning one angler had a great week and the rest struggled.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Not so sure, this was our second visit to the lake and the fishing has deteriorated drastically.

Yes.

General Comments:

I don't know what has spoilt the fishing, whether it was the fish kill or the lake changes but its a shame because Bernard and Sophie are great hosts and it is a lovely place to go fishing for a week. Maybe it will improve over the next couple of seasons.
