General Comments:

Lovely place to fish but tackle up with strong gear , the catfish fight really hard

Details of your catches:

60 fish between 5
Lots of grass carp
Biggest carp 55lb common
Followed by 43lb leather
Biggest grass carp 39lb
Biggest cat 86.5lb

Bigger fish tending to fall to swims 1-6, with more common/leather carp coming out of swims 7-10.

Overall 1767lb of fish between us as a group.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Far margin with bait boat, stick to 3 spots and bait at 19:00-ish. Out of the 70-80 bites we had, 95% of them were from the hours between 20:00 and 05:00. Very slow during the days but was not uncommon for double takes at night. Boilie/wafters/tiger nuts over a bed of particle mix with some freebies worked well.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, basic drive and survive, 2 showers and a toilet, bailiffs supply plenty of tokens when needed. Standing Toilet also located behind swim 7/8. Can also charge your appliances in lockers (bring padlock)

Were you happy with them?

Yes, everything you need and bailiffs check facilities daily

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

100%, great venue with wonderful hosts, leave you to it but check in on you every other day for a brief chat

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

100% will be back again in the future, one of the only lakes we have gone back to multiple times.

General Comments:

fantastic lake with very welcoming owners, lots of runs predominately at night however. Stick to your spots and bait generously to far margin and you will catch!

Details of your catches:

Excellent week had by all. Fishing during the day very slow, suspect due to heat. Lake very active during night.
We had approx 40 fish between us. Carp just over 40lb, Cats just over 50lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fish far margin, all baits seemed to work, live system, sticky krill, maize, muscles worked well for cats

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities all good. Hot showers, fridge freezers and power points for charging. Added bonuses for a drive and survive complex

Were you happy with them?

Overhaul everyone in group happy and looking to rebook a return trip.
Note, Bailiff Sebastian was brilliant. Leaves you alone to get on with it, quick message for bait or any other issues, he was on it straight away

General Comments:

Make sure you fish with back leads, I made this mistake one night and was out of bed every 5 minutes

Details of your catches:

Plenty of carp up to 40lb not many less than mid twenties, grass carp from 24lb up to the best fish which was 51lb - a few cats but none fishing for them

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Plenty of pellet with fishy boilies on the bottom

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes showers hot, basic but have seen worse

Were you happy with them?

More than adequate if you wanted to pick fault you could but not staying in a 5 star hotel - it’s a lake in the middle of nowhere
