General Comments:

Fish had spawned week previous so only male fish coming out, had torrential rain and storms and lake rose over 7 inches, but they can control the inlet and outlet so not in danger of flooding unlike some of the lakes in the area. Great lake for sport and some big fish can be caught. Frank and Mark are always on hand to help and assist.

Details of your catches:

Poor weeks fishing, The lake had turned off but thats carp fishing. Had lots of small fish and a good 20+ common.

Swim 3, Adam and Mark
Six fish 1x 44 4x 30's 1x20

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

For myself all bites came to a snowman with the bottom bait shrink wrapped, freebies were hard air dried boilies and a few tigers. Mark and Adam had more success with tigers on the hair.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yep, been to Brocard several times and the facilities are spot on. Even fishing in swim four and being right next to the facilities I still used my generator for power throughout the week as noted in the venue section the power is only available certain days and times

Were you happy with them?

Yes. plenty of hot water and clean, all i need

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes i would. It was my first time fishing the small lake and I have no complaints

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

I certainly would, I've never had any issues with any of the Angling Lines venues I've fished

General Comments:

I've fished the large lake several times so it was nice to have a change and fish small. Early during the session I did catch three small carp from rods positioned quite tight to the margin. I simply moved the rods about ten meters away from the snags and didnt pick up anymore small fish for the rest of the week. Mark and Adam also caught a few small carp early on, but after switching to tigers on the hair it stopped their attention. I was quite suprised that in swim 4 Stewart and myself picked up fish from all over the swim, I had a pre-conceived idea that fish only get caught from the right margin. Franck was a gent as always and it was nice to see Mark from Jonchery who popped over a few times during the week.

Details of your catches:

6 fish in mid twenties, a slow week around the area

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

A handful of baits in the margin (near and far side)

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, very good for D&S

Were you happy with them?

Yes

General Comments:

Brocard Small
This is a truly beautiful lake, the crescent shape of the lake puts the other pegs well out of sight. With a forest behind you and a tree lined far margin ahead you really get feeling you have the lake to yourselves.
In spite of ideal conditions (by English standards) the fishing this week was very slow throughout the area we managed only 6 fish to mid-20s between us.
This year we were plagued with small Carp between 1 and 2 lb, they are beautiful little Commons and Mirrors but the lovely little devils lose their charm when you jump out of the sleeping for one on a rainy night.
The lake is due to be drained and netted this winter so hopefully problem solved, just in case I’d pack some hard 30mm boilies next time.
As a drive and survive venue it has everything you need, water, toilet, shower, charging and a good bailiff.
