Only 4 anglers travelled and we had a trip to be remembered!. We had 59 fish, 14x20's, 26x30's, 14x40's & 4x50's

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We used Virus bait from Florestackle.com with boilie and tiger nut hook baits. We fished at long range to the far margin and baited heavily throughout the trip. We experienced heavy rain for 2 days. It rained for 13hrs solid and the lake rose by 4"!!!

The facilities were exactly what we expected, basic but sufficient.

General Comments:

The only moan we could have is the path to the lake from the car park is boggy at best and after the torrential rain it was a waders job!. It used to be in passable when I came before so I suppose it's an improvement!. No real drama as long as anglers take welly boots!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Best time to catch fish was in the mornings. Good size fish were caught. Bait boat and bottom baits was used in general.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were clean and fit for purpose.

Were you happy with them?

Toilet and wash facilities were too far away and some fishermen used the woods. I feel it is important to inform guests that they may like to bring a portable toilet due to the distance of toilet facilities.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would like to return and would certainly recommend this venue to friends.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes
