General Comments:

Choose the venue because of the availability of the point to bivy up with the whole group. Unfortunate the point was flooded so we chose the south bank of the lake which appeared to be full with submerged bushes. We lost a number of fishes because of this and for half of the fish we landed we had to go into the water to free our line and fish of these bushes. Definitely will be back next year then later in the season to improve our changes to the point. One tip: at low water remove most of the bushes which are submerged at high water level for the safety of the fish.

Details of your catches:

41 fish up to a beautiful 37.5lb mirror 5 30s 4 doubles from 12lb to 17lb and the rest all 20s to 26.15 3 catfish to 25.09

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

we baited quite lightly to start with and the fishing was slow for the first 3 days trickling a little bait in every day until the fish started to wake up (they had been spawning the previous week and only 6 fish came out)most of our fish came to snowman rigs and surprisingly no one caught on a pop-up all week..we took a 13 year old lad whos best carp was a 9 pounder and he ended with the best fish of the week at 37.5lb awesome result.

Were the facilities what you expected?

basic but clean and tidy

General Comments:

the lake was still in flood and we had to rake out a bit of weed once the swims were chosen..not a major issue. the weather was baking all week and the level dropped around 2 feet while we were there so the landing of fish got a little easier...if going take waders with you and you will have no problems (especially if the level is up a little) at times the fishing was hectic..overall a decent venue with some corking fish (all the fish we had were in mint condition)

Details of your catches:

Unfortunatley there weren't many fish caught...We caught on the first and last day of our holiday.We arrived to the fish beginning to spawn. The weather went up to 36 degrees, and then on Monday night we were hit by a massive storm. The weather really was against us.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, it's a fantastic venue, and the big fish are in there we were just unlucky with the weather conditions

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Definitely, we packed up early and you got us on an earlier ferry without any problems. Easy to book and excellent service

General Comments:

The water level was really high this week which made fishing difficult, we couldn't find any shallows.
Fantastic venue,nice and quiet,shops nearby. Would definitley go back hopefully in better weather.
The owners are really friendly and helpful.
