General Comments:

I fished this lake a lot around 15 years ago, I wanted to take my sons to old fashion French runs water, this place is perfect for that with a great mix of fish.
I would definitely recommend this lake to first timers and people who would like a break from hard waters.

Details of your catches:

Came just for catfish, after 6 days, over 30 cats ranging from 50lb TO 92lb and 5 grass carp up to 38lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Lumps of pork or beef

Details of your catches:

10 carp to 28lb and 7 catfish to 100lb...a great trip!
Also, I didn't fish the nights because I didn't need to. As I was on my own, playing and landing a 70lb cat at night isn't my idea of fun.
The only quiet time of the day was 12pm to 2pm. I should have had 18mm hook baits (my mistake), might have got into bigger carp.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Standard D rig and 14m Cel or Crab wafter with half pink pop up on top of the boilie.
Fishing tight to any bank guaranteed Cats...fish 2-3 metres off meant you had a better chance of carp.
I fished in left hand swim (Swim 10 I think, by the islands). Its the shallowest end. Cats showed 24x7.

General Comments:

Angling lines were great re changing the ferry... thankyou. The owner was friendly and helpful.
The lake is great, a runs water.
50% of the takes were cats...I lost 6 cats and 1 sturgeon. The site says no braid is allowed...it was! If not using braid, you must have minimum 25lb line and 30lb hook link, otherwise you will lose loads of gear. The 25lb line will not put the carp off. If you're a catfish lover...take 50lb braid and you will smash it up...plus stronger than 3.5lb test curve rods.
A slight annoyance was some very loud music on the farm opposite on the Sunday (I think)...plus the public can turn up easily like a public lake (4 guys even tried fishing whilst I was there)...needs signs up saying private fishery. We had several visitors... there were no issues, just a little weird.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback, we will discuss these comments with the owner regarding signs.
