Details of your catches:

658lb of fish caught. 5 x Sturgeons to 36lb, Carp - 5 x 30's to 35lb, 12 x 20's and 2 x doubles.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Started the week with far too much particle and pellet. Then had some great advice from Paul Cooper and Jim Kelly on bait selection. We changed to HG42 and HG47 from Quality Baits and that's when we really did well. Thanks for the tips guys, it really paid off. Fantastic bait.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Fairly basic facilities of Shower and Toilet, but what I expected from a "drive and survive" weeks fishing

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, a beautiful lake, that has some stunning fish. Sebastian, the Lake owner comes round daily, but leaves you alone. We like this.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes

While we were fishing, we had 3 of the Angling Lines field testers there. They gave us great advice and tips on catching fish. We eventually moved swims on Paul and Jims advice and it was the best thing we did. Thanks again guys.

General Comments:

Blue Lake has matured quickly since my first visit last summer. The large double swims are now grass covered and fish numbers increased substantially following the winter stocking. The facilities are good and immaculately clean

We had 32 fish including 6 30's and a lot of high 20's

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The fish came to just bags at the start but then we had to start putting in patches of bait

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes the shower was nice and hot

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would be interested in going again for sure

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

General Comments:

Was pleased with the trip and would use angling lines again only thing I would like would be the option of fishing Friday to Monday as a week was a bit long for me as well as inconvenient with work

Details of your catches:

18 carp in total

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We moved 3 times during the week. The weather was like winter at the start of the week and summer at the end!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, sufficient. Loved the lake

Were you happy with them?

Yes. The access and track is brilliant. Sebastien was great too - English very good and he left you alone to fish, which is what I like. Most carp were mid twenties I had no thirties.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, definitely. spot on

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, going again with you later in the year :-)
