100% amazing fish!! Very hard fighting and lovely looking. Great complex

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes very easy to use and very helpful when we needed to change crossing time and vehicle.

General Comments:

The lake is very shallow 2-4ft and bait boats highly recommended. Any lead cast will plug into clay and be very hard to get out. The lake being shallow the fish will kite left or right so backleads were required to stop us getting wiped out on every fish.

General Comments:

I was there for 12 nights and the temperatures on the first week were up to 17 degrees and the fish responded and the fishing was good.
However the temperatures plummeted the second week, which culminated in the lake freezing over for the final 48 hours and the fish went back into winter mode and fishing was difficult. But that’s the chance you take when taking up the winter special offers.
5 carp up to 52lb in February was more than I’d hoped for. Mark the Bailiff is a top bloke.
