Details of your catches:

27 fish including a 57 common, 2 different 56 lb mirrors and 7 40's to 48lbs.

The average size of fish was higher than we expected and were in excellent condition.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fish were caught from 30 yards out to right out to the far bank.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The farmhouse is a short drive but this didn't present any problems and the facilities were basic but clean and adequate.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, a stunning peaceful lake with a lot of big carp present.

General Comments:

The fishing seemed very weather dependent. Still hot days produced little but a bit of rain and wind seemed to activate them immediately.

The track from the car park is boggy and a bit of a pain, something that could be easily fixed. Also, we ordered bait and had a confirmation email from Chris but he was away so we didn't receive it. Luckily we had enough bait with us to get through the week. The previous party had taken the life jackets home with them so there were none available for us. Not only could this have impacted on our fishing holiday but also presents serious safety concerns. I was not impressed.

**Angling Lines note** Sorry to hear about these issues, we will look into this with the owner.

High pressure all week with bright sunshine and ne winds and clear nights all week which made the fishing very hard but when we did catch the fish where stunning and of a very good stamp.
