Angling lines are great, they keep you up to date on everything and if there is a problem they will go out of their way to change anything you want at the drop of a simple phone call

General Comments:

The lake has a varied bottom, finding the right spot can be tricky, many bars and plateaus, the swims are large enough for 2 people.
The only down side is they are in much need of maintenance, many of the swims have broken concrete and metal rebar sticking out with steep inclines, the rest of the venue is kept well with all verges cut and trees trimmed back. Didn't see Cyril or Sebastian hardly at all, with very minimal info on the lake upon arrival.
Swim 11 had the majority of fish in front of it all week due to the deep bowl in that swim (15-18ft) hardly any fish came to the other swims. Sturgeon were hooked and caught plenty with double takes at times, these are a big pain, could do with removing in all honesty.
No bailiff on the last day for catch reports for future references so wondering how catch rates are kept.
With a little maintenance this could be an excellent fishery.

I would recommend this venue to a angler who has been fishing a few years as in varies in depths so much but as soon as you work it out you get the rewards! Constant bites throughout the week which kept us happy!
