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.

Details of your catches:

We doubled up on peg 6. We had a few fish between us despite it being the worst weather I've had on a frence trip. The commons being 32-37lb and one above the magical 50lb mark.we ended the week with:
9 x commons to 55lb 6oz
2 x mirrors to 45lb 8oz
7 x grassies to 42lb 4oz
1 x tench

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We used fake corn and tigers as there was A LOT of crayfish. We did use snowmen which produced the 50 but the majority came to the corn and tigers. We also stayed away from the gravel and only fished the soft and silty patches.

Were the facilities what you expected?

To be honest for a drive and survive there ok, fridge and freezer great, big and plenty of room. The toilet and shower could do with rethinking. Toilet very small, I'm not a big guy and I found it small. The shower room floor is bad when wet and it gets very wet.

Were you happy with them?

As above ok for a drive and survive but could do a lot more and make it a lot better.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

It was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend it to others. It is a awesome looking lake and I hope it recovers from what has happened.
