General Comments:

There have been a lot of comments previously saying the the lake is weedy. Yes there is weed, but it is mainly blanket weed in the margins. We hardly brought anything back in when recasting, most of the time the rigs came in clear. We did not have to use the boat once, even with the big cat who took my mate half way round the lake. I recommend using a baitboat with a fishfinder to find the flat spots, as that is where we were picking up our fish.

Details of your catches:

3 Cats to 76lb
12 Carp to 49.8lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Mainline Cell
DNA baits
Tigernut pop up
Pop up corn
Fished using ronnie/360 rigs, snowman or on slipD rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, basic but clean and everything you'd expect for a drive and survive trip.
3 fridges, large chest freezer for frozen bait, kitchen area with plenty of charging points, toilet and shower.

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

General Comments:

The lake was very weedy, but if you spend the time to find the spots the rewards are definitely there. We fished to the back of the weed beds where the fish seemed to be holding. Although we wouldn't class this as a runs water. Only 3 carp coming in at under 30lb. Be prepared to use the boat as the fish tend to head straight into the weed when hooked and can be very difficult to get out whilst being on the bank.

Details of your catches:

Brilliant weeks fishing, 22 fish caught.
5x 40lb+ and 1x 58.8lb carp
3x catfish over 50lb and 1x at 63lb.
All other cats and carp caught were over 20/30lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

PVA bags with balanced tigernuts

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, everything on as expected and more than enough.
Local shop is very poor, I would suggest going Aldi before session

Were you happy with them?

Yes very happy with the facilities

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, really good lake. Lake is very weedy but plenty of fish to catch once spots have been found. We lost quite a few to weed. We used the boat provided by the lake on almost most catches.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes it has everything you need.

Lovely venue as a lake exclusive, Only concern being the amount of weed across the whole lake but again with the aid of the boat to find spots aswell as landing fish it worked out perfectly.
