Details of your catches:

There where only 2 of us on the lake this week, October 5th and the lake looked great as we entered.
Conditions where spot on and we caught some MEGA fish including a new PB for myself of 64lb. I fished peg 11 and my mate fished peg 10 he struggled for a few days but landed a 60+ sturgeon and lost a couple. Unfortunately we had to leave Wednesday night as we got flooded out and this is the only negative I'd say we didn't get any warning and where lucky to get out.

Catches
64lb common
51lb common
28lb mirror

General Comments:

Overall a great trip but would have liked to have got warned about the possibility of flooding and check up it could have had a different outcome. Overall good service.
* Angling Lines comment * The situation you faced must have been horrendous. As soon as we had been made aware of the lake level rising, one of our directors, Bridget, did try to contact you but couldn't get though, she also sent a text message to check you were both ok. Cyril (the bailiff) told Bridget that he did go down to the lake to check all was ok but you had already left at that point.

However, this is not good and so on their behalf, please accept theirs and Angling Lines apologies you were not warned sooner. This is a freak weather event that obviously developed very, very quickly and we are extremely relieved no one has been hurt. You were really unfortunate to experience it.

Details of your catches:

Between 2 of us we had 11 bites landed 9. Weather was not favourable as it was sunny most days with very cold temperatures at night. However consistent baiting kept the bites coming.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Boilie. Corn. Tigers.

General Comments:

Can’t wait to get back to blue lakes and try some of Sebastian’s other lakes.

Details of your catches:

I fished for 1 week on peg 11. Despite the awful weather conditions I caught a total of 12 fish.
56.8 sturgeon.
5 grass between 25lb and 48lb.
6 common carp between 29 and 48lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Mixture of tactics. Krill wafters. Pellet. Snowman rig. PVA bags and zig.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes. Basic but exactly as detailed in the pictures provided by Angling Lines

Were you happy with them?

Yes.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would. I think the fishery will regain a great reputation when the fish that was lost are replaced.
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. The additional stocking of 200 carp, a great investment into the lake, has now taken place (November '24) and the details can be seen on the latest news.
