Details of your catches:

9 fish including four thirties to 34lb6oz

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We started very cautious with pva nets but didn't catch anything, but as the week went on we found that accurate feeding with around 100 boilies and a handful of pellet got us every fish.

Although we had a selection of boilies being used all fish fell to 15mm Garlic and squid flavour.

General Comments:

A very good place to fish, all fish were in mint condition, owner and family were very nice.

All swims had clearly labelled bins with bin bags supplied so no excuse for litter to be left at pegs and also keeps night time visitors away. All in all a very good place to fish.

Credit to Angling Lines also with the ease of booking a fishing trip and all relevant information supplied up to date to get you there and give you the best chance of cracking the venue.

General Comments:

The lake had risen by about 3 foot the week before we arrived and continued to rise by about a foot a day 2angler on the east side were catching fish about 1 a day from the island that was well under water but no real sign of fish any ware else on the lake most of the areas we could fish were over 14/15 foot we couldn't Evan catch a roach with maggots . We had strong winds lots of rain snow ice and on one day the daytime temp hit 20 degrees so I don't think we had much of a chance we tried every thing we could think of
And the electric was out on the last day so we couldn't use the toilet or shower.

Details of your catches:

9xcarp ranging from 26lb biggest being 44lb, 2xbream

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

to be honest we struggled to get them feeding,
water levels were very low and a mixture of high n low temps with thunder storms.
but what we caught wa with a good spread of bait and sitting and waiting for them to get on it.
all bar one fish came at night or very early morning.

no complaints whatsoever.
