General Comments:

Cyril was very nice and couldn't do enough, sorted some wood so we could use the fire pit and nothing was too much for him, great guy. There is a takeaway called good food 10mins away, a bakery and a shop next door so everything you need to keep you going

23 fish between 2 anglers mainly cats, biggest catfish was 95lb, smallest was 75lbs, grass carp up to 35lb and 2 mirrors one at 25lb and one at 30lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Anything works

Were the facilities what you expected?

Shower and toilet facilities were spot on basic as to be expected but were always clean, there are some problems with fish tangled in line and some dead around the islands at the bottom though, there is ALOT of line in the water somebody on another peg went in in waders and got wrapped in the line and it's everywhere we told the owners and they didn't seem fussed at all, there was also a lot of green algae across the lake which seems to happen around the same time every year here.

Were you happy with them?

Overall happy with the facilities but the line problem needs addressing as its causing harm to the fish.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Overall the venue was good, quiet location shops only 15 mins away, clean toilets and showers, but the issues of the line need to be addressed because there are fish that have died there and more are likely too, we picked up two carp dead out of the water ourselves that week and also the silt / algae issue needs addressing.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes service from angling lines was fantastic as always

General Comments:

Good lake to fish just feels a bit neglected, there is heavy green algae over the top end of the lake and it is very silty, avoid fishing by the bottom island because there are fallen trees everywhere at the bottom and no end of line wrapped around everything down there and be very careful in waders at the bottom end. *Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We have discussed all points raised with the owner and any issues with line will be addressed. The algae that presents itself on this lake in hot weather is common each year and we agree very green, but it is entirely natural and oxygen levels are tracked throughout the hotter months. It does not affect the fishing in this regard.

Details of your catches:

70 fish total considering we were told the fishing was slow. Mix catch of cats, grass carp, mirrors with plenty of common. All had PBs.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Various rigs and bait all worked. Mixed particles from the bailef were a great addition.

Were the facilities what you expected?

For a drive and survive, the facilities were adequate. The shower was great with plenty of hot water. Could do with lick of paint after a long season they are looking a little tired. A light in the toilet would be very useful.

Were you happy with them?

The group as a whole were happy with the facilities.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Without a doubt, a lovely place with great fish.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes we would recommend Angling lines. Upon my return to work I have already done so.

General Comments:

The bailiffs were brilliant, couldn't help you enough, and were down daily checking temps and oxygen levels due to extreme heat. The fishing started off slow due to the heat, but half way through the week the weather system changed in our favour and we caught 20+ fish between us, close to shops and anything you need, would be perfect for a group booking exclusively
