Details of your catches:

No catch until Tuesday night, my first catch 23lb common carp then no bites at all from any of us four all day or night. Even after asking where to fish and what bait and being told to use a bait boat (which I had to borrow) to get the best spots! Until finally on the last night at 3am I had a 25lb mirror and my father in law on my swim had a 27lb common but other than that there was nothing happening at swim 4!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Nothing seemed to work, just seemed to be luck rather than best baits but the spots were definitely out of casting distance and the need for a bait boat was a must! (Which was not specified!)

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes the facilities were decent and what I expected on a fishing lake although the electricity could be more accessible and the fact we had to tent up away from our swim over a bridge of a river wasn’t very safe or satisfactory.

Were you happy with them?

Mostly yes.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Not for the fishing as with 4 anglers and 3 fish in a week it’s not worth it but the venue was good if it was fishing well and the staff (when there) were easy to talk to and mostly helpful especially mark!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Your services were brilliant and I would yes.

General Comments:

The need for a bait boat needs to be specified for definite and the fact swim 3 is tented away from the swim should be said as this isn’t ideal with fish being caught early hours of the night with no light to see the bridge!

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We do want to point out that the layout of swim 3 is pictured on the website under 'lake photos'. We also agree that a bait boat can be advantageous if you are not comfortable casting the distances required, however we do believe this is subjective and anglers do fish this lake without a bait boat successfully also.

Details of your catches:

We only managed 3 fish due to if you haven’t got a good long range bait boat you can’t reach the fish on other side of bank we’re seems only place you can catch also only feed at night apart from that camping wise 100%

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Under trees far bank, coconut boilies, long way out

Were the facilities what you expected?

100%

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Needs say on site baitboat a must

Details of your catches:

We fished every day & night for 7 nights 1 of us caught 2 small carp, another caught 1 small carp, the third angler in the party had 1 run and lost the fish barbless hook 🤨 and finally myself, I managed no line bites no runs no fish for 7 days not the best results for a weeks fishing don’t you think, ? Very disappointed group of anglers 😞

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

None

Were the facilities what you expected?

Worse

Were you happy with them?

Just about, no drinking water, generator kept breaking down, no fish.

*Bailiff note* The generator does trip occasionally, but once notified we fix with a new fuse (please note even if the generator does trip, the lights and hot water would continue to work).
