Details of your catches:

Lots of fish landed on peg 2 and a few lost. Peg one to the right had a few carp to the left. Bream and tench present crayfish are a nuisance. However didnt spoil the week. Would go back but will fish from peg 2 mainly for the social side

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Braided line and pop ups

Were the facilities what you expected?

No, they had no idea they were providing toilets on the peg as the wc/shower block were out of order. We had to flush the toilet down with lake water. It wasn't what we were expecting but we coped.

General Comments:

The weather was up and down with a few thunderstorms including storm Benjamin which ripped through the lake with a few trees coming down and across the lake the they was a lot of rain but we still enjoyed our trip Lebel was great always there if you needed him

Details of your catches:

16 fish. Mostly mirrors - biggest fish being the big common @ 57lb. All hard fighting healthy fish.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Far margins 30 wraps up to snags (2 rod lengths off) braid with snag leader essential (30lb), mono has too much stretch.
Baiting up from far bank with baiting spoon then bait boat on top with boilie crumb and hook bait.
Sticky krill hard hookers with corn topper worked for me but bottom baits were also ok krays didn’t seem to touch too much.
Bites seemed to come late evening after 5pm or when light levels start to drop.
Lots of wood, branches on lake floor so if your lines moved or not done anything in say 6 hours, I’d prob redo knowing what I know now. Takes can be instant and powerful on braid, being on your rods in seconds and your rods being locked up and held down seemed essential.
Need strong hooks with a thicker wire gauge I had a prob with a normal hooks straightening during the take.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, from peg 2 it's a 10 min walk through a woodland path around the lake, a few brambles enroute. Carrefour shop is literally 5 mins away with all essentials and a pizza vending machine, washing facilities and fuel. Swim are crushed limestone or something, hard on the bivvy pegs bring a mallet (not carpy I know).

General Comments:

A proper gem! Beautiful gin clear water, wild lake with hard fighting carp if you get on them, plenty of beauties can be had. Owner is a top class bloke, will help in any way possible. Charged our boat batteries at his home and dropped them off the next day. 100% recommend the lake to anyone.
