Small amount of bait put out by bait boat worked best for us.

General Comments:

We had trying week as the weather was against us. Very cold nights to -5 and frost knocked the fish off until the middle of the week after it started to warm up. We made the best of conditions we had. You just can’t count on the weather.

Details of your catches:

6x Fish from Cabin 1. 2x 40lb, 2x 30lb, 20x 20lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

No one best method - fish one rod length off the margin and bait sparingly. Fish did not respond to big beds of bait - however the conditions were tricky. Very high pressure and cold frosty nights.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Great facilities - clean cabins, hot water, washing up/toaster etc, WIFI. Everything you need for a week fishing - fantastic

Were you happy with them?

Absolutely - great facilities

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

General Comments:

Bruno has created a great lake that will mature and develop into an even more picturesque and charming venue. The fish are in immaculate condition and Bruno offers advice on how best to tackle the venue on a daily venue. Thanks for a great week and some amazing fish even in difficult conditions!

Details of your catches:

3 Carp 34.7, 39.3, 39.9lb all Mirror. Two against the island, one in mid water, between 3.30/ 6.30am.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Pop ups and tiger nuts hook bait, lose food particles, pellet, some boiles

Were the facilities what you expected?

The venue was brilliant . The hut was all that I could expect fridge, electricity, nice swims, toilets are clean and tidy, kitchen everything you could ask for like big fridge/freezer, toaster, microwave, hot running water

Were you happy with them?

Everything Bruno done was five-star, obviously you can't control the weather with the fish no on the feed due to the weather

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes i've done so already

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes and I've done so already

General Comments:

With the hut and all the facilities I think a lot more people should booked up to go in the colder months making the fishing better, I was the first person to visit since November and the fish just wasn't on the feed due to the lack of baiting. Having said that I had an absolute brilliant week fishing with the fish I caught was in magnificent condition.

Details of your catches:

28lb 6oz common carp - caught midnight on the last night (photos were rubbish as it was blowing a gale and raining horizontally!)

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Single bottom baits on the edge of the channel to the island - discovered a huge patch of bloodworm behind the Island during my last day.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were exactly as described and Bruno was very welcoming and helpful

Were you happy with them?

Given how bad the weather was - the accommodation was a godsend!

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes - Bruno is a great owner, the lake is very well kept and tidy. There are a few crayfish, but they left my baits well alone. There is a small amount of algae - probably due to the volume of food that went on over the summer.

Fishing was slow, mainly due to the fish feeding on the huge bed of bloodworm and the weather. Strong winds and rain some days, temperatures ranging from frosty to 18c

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes - the service provided by angling lines was very efficient

I intend to rebook for next year
