General Comments:

Water was very high & a lot of fish were held up behind the tree line which would normally be out of the water. I think we would have caught lots more with lower water.

Details of your catches:

25 fish between us up to 28lb, mostly 15lb+. Fish were mainly caught overnight as it was very hot during the day.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fruity boilies worked well, eg. Tutti Fruitti, peach & pineapple, the fish weren't interested in meaty flavours.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, very good.

General Comments:

The brochure and directions were spot on. Could do with putting some lily pads in the 2 bays.

Details of your catches:

We found the 1st two days very difficult.. until we saw how a local angler was catching! Then we knew what to do...We then averaged 5 to 6 twenties each a day each. Plus plenty of mid doubles too. Biggest weighed 28lb. Over 500lb of carp caught in the last in 2 days of our 4 day trip. Runs day & night non-stop. All fish in perfect condition.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

1st two days very difficult..til we sorted out the tactics.. The local angler was using Angling Lines Specials but we only had White chocolate with us.. we used the same tactics with these and it worked really well. We fished boilies with PVA bags of crushed boilies to all areas out into free open water on a bed of maize & hemp. Suddenly we were catching. Normal hair rigs with in line leads were used and worked well.

Were the facilities what you expected?

General Comments:

Your brochure says tench and roach but we found no evidence of them - no small fish at all. We tried other baits but only caught on maize. Bernard was very kind and helpful. I hope his lake is a success.
