5 x 40's to 48lb 12 oz
3 x 50's to 56lb 4oz
Also 3 sturgeon to 105lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Pop ups. Bottom baits were a huge waste of time due to the massive cray fish problem.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Could be better. Some of our group fished their 5 years ago and no improvements have been made. Could do with updating and maybe adding some new facilities. A seating area and BBQ would be a good start.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Probably not. But if the cray fish were dealt with and facilities improved then definitely.

General Comments:

Half of our group fished there 5 years ago and sold the venue to the rest of us. But they were left disappointed after this trip. The water quality was much worse than before and there were no cray fish last trip. This time the cray fish ruined fishing for several people and made the week very difficult and frustrating. Also, the large sturgeon are a nuisance. Great if you land one but some are far too big for carp fishing gear. Multiple lines were broken as a result and the 105lb we landed had a badly damaged fin and was wrapped in line from previous trips. As a result it is doubtful we will go back.
