Details of your catches:

10 anglers fished the lake - Mr. Malc Allcott's catch.
Had 27 fish, 8 x 30's best being 43lb 12oz, 39lb 15oz, 39lb 6oz, 39lb 2oz, 36lb 12oz, 15 x 20lb+ and 2 under 20lb. Also 1 sturgeon.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fished swim 3 with mate Phil Harris who had 14 fish.

Used only boilies and topped up every few hours with throwing stick spaced out to make the carp work for bait. Worked well for us.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes- fine, could do with a freezer for anglers food and bait.

Details of your catches:

We had 58 carp to finish with up to 41lb - 2 x 40+, 30 x 30+, 24 x 20+ also 8 Sturgeon, 1 pike and 4 bream :-)

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

For Neil the first three days fished deep water from swim 8 found out that large amounts of bait attract the sturgeon and they chase off the carp. Best tactics are small pva bags and scattering of boilies about 70 yards. snowman rigs topped with corn real or fake did not matter. All the swims fished well but look out for the large rocks off 9/10/11 swims this snags leads.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes - very good clean and tidy.

Were you happy with them?

Yes - Lake really beautiful and natural with great facilities.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

General Comments:

We all had a great week just remember too much bait attracts the sturgeon. Fish the plateau's 7 to 8 ft for the carp, lots of features to fish to.

A good place to put a bend in your rod, very rural and quite scenic lake. We even saw a family of wild boar at the lake edge. I can see us going back again.
