General Comments:

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.

Mr Cousins & family very nice people, English can be a slight problem. Would be nice if an extension lead could be provided with English plug sockets, lack of power points for charging up batteries. Look forward to booking 2010 holiday.
