General Comments:

Tough week due to carp spawning, active crayfish and huge floating weed beds taking out the lines on a regular basis. The lake clearly holds some impressive carp, the swims all give plenty of water per angler and the owner Constant is always there if needed.

Details of your catches:

9 Carp from 13lb to 59lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tiger nuts where best as there is millions of crayfish

Were the facilities what you expected?

No, pretty poor really

Were you happy with them?

No shower was terrible had no water at the beginning of the week then no power once there was water so cold showers only

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely, the fish in this place are fantastic so as long as you can be self sufficient and not require facilities then it’s well worth going

Used Angling lines for many years and the service is fairly good, just lacking on more lake information and updates cause if they did there bit better I wouldn’t have been caught out with the facilities
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We have spoken with the owner about the shower issues, and he informed us that unfortunately, the solar battery system had temporarily run out of power. As soon as he was alerted, he made every effort to get the showers back on as quickly as possible, in this case it was the following day. We urge anyone who experiences any issues to contact the owner or us immediately so we can resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

Great Lake, will definitely go back stunning fish pretty and big with a very nice owner

Details of your catches:

2 Anglers fishing swim 6. 5 fish landed between us up to 28lb and 2 lost. Very challenging week due to weather changes.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Look for spots in the weed and fished snowman over the lake boilies pellet and particle

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were basic, which is what you expect on drive and survive, but I still expect them to work. The shower was stone cold for 90% of time, then heated to scalding hot for about 30 seconds, and the tap in the basin just leaked at the head so couldn't wash your hands.
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the issues you experienced. The shower and tap are now fully functioning again. If you encounter any problems in the future, please contact the owner or us as soon as possible so we can resolve the issue.

Were you happy with them?

The owner needs to improve the shower room

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

The lake itself is nice with decent swims and the location is very quiet. It is not an easy water by any means, but there are some lovely fish in there and it is good to see so few swims on a lake that size where others the same size will have 3 times as many swims. I would recommend to others.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes Angling Lines are always easy to deal with, including a last minute change of vehicle for the ferry which was dealt with.

Constant is a great guy, the lake is beautiful and the fish are all stunning. The weather was terrible this week with heavy snow and minus figures everyday and night which made it very hard work.
Constant messages everyday to see if we was ok and if we needed anything.
