Details of your catches:

A total of 33 fish. 5x doubles, 17x twenties, 9x thirties, 2x forties. Largest grass carp was 31.5lb. Largest common was 34lb. Largest mirrors were 40lb 4oz and 42.5lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Two tiger nuts fished over a bed of hemp and pellet. Boilies were hampered by crayfish and unexpectedly by pike! PVA bags of PVA stick mixes were used to bury the hook to prevent getting stuck in the weed on the way down. Lost countless fish in the weed which is now present.

General Comments:

The shower block has been renovated which is good, however the block is still a 5 minute drive from the lake. Some basic lakeside amenities would make the venue perfect, or simply a shed to offer some respite from the sun. I am guessing that the lake must have been netted since our first visit in 2003, and all the small carp removed, as our catch rate dropped from 100+ fish to 33. This is a good thing as the fish caught were better and bigger. the number of pike in the lake needs controlling - these were prone to taking fishmeal boilies and snapping you off on the retrieval. Access to the woods bank swims was terrible (as echoed by many others in the log book). It was overgrown with 8-10 inches of mud - nothing that a couple of tonnes of stone or dropping the fence back a metre wouldn't fix. All in all an excellent weeks fishing enjoyed by all.

Details of your catches:

1x53lb, 1x45lb, 1x44lb(one eye), 8x30's from 31lb to 39.5lb 30 x 29lb to 10lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Baits to the far bank worked well as did boilies with response pellet dropped with bait boats
