Details of your catches:

Water levelas were up with 50 fish in total, biggest was 42lb, catfish to 25lb & bream to 13lb. 4 carp were 30lb+ to 39lb also a few grass carp all immac condition.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Water levels were high up over the spit. By the end of the week water levels were dropping fast prob 3ft down on the start of the week and spit now showing. Most productive swim was at the far end opposite the facilities I fished into the wind. Fish caught on Maize, Rhaja Spice and t1.No one used pop ups, we used pva bags and spodding both did the trick. I recommend taking a marker. I put a large bed around 15 to 20 spods at lunchtime and then 10 more early evening. That seemed to be productive I had 16 fish. I just fished off the drop around 30 - 40m out. Lost 5 fish in the snags.

General Comments:

A great venue, a great owner. I would suggest that when the water leel is low a lot of the snags are removed especially for the fishes welfare.

This lake is not a runs water. The owner does not seem to know anything about how its fishing or how to fish it. All the trees have been ripped out making it difficult to bivvy up around the lake because of sharp tree roots everywhere. There was no signs of fish activity you wasnt getting any line bites or single bleeps. To advertise this lake as a runs water now is a joke no wonder the owner stays away all week. Personally i think the owner has damaged the lake ripping out all the trees from the waters edge it is very cloudy and just doesnt look good, also the few fish we caught didnt even attempt to put up a fight and came in like a wet rag.

General Comments:

although i enjoyed the venue it was not as advertised ie the lake does not look the same as trees have been taken out also the water level was very low which made it hard to catch, i think the book and dvd need to be up dated,the owner was very nice and very welcoming.(please forward the pics to him thankyou as he asked for them to be sent to him)
