General Comments:

Too much weed in swims. Owner came round one day with a mind to rake weed from swim. Had to stop fishing for the day as chemicals were put in to kill weed. Owner cared for his fish a lot, but showed no interest in anglers. He did not come every day for a chat to see how things were going or to give advice on hotspots, bait, tactics, etc. OWNERS COMMENTS: I decided to clear the weed in front of the first swim because nobody was fishing there....... then when I arrived Mr Oliver had moved into the swim without asking me. So I told him that I needed to clear the weed because last week the angler in this swim had had some problems. He told me this was OK. So the next day I returned to clean the weed with my friend, expecting him to have changed swims (there were 2 or 3 swims free) He didn't move - just watched me all day. I never kill the weed with a chemical - I'm not crazy) He could have moved at any time - I would have helped him do so. I find it very disappointing that this angler was fine while here then chose to misrepresent the situation when they enter their feedback. Only the first 2 swims have some weed .... and they are still very fishable.

Impressed with owners care of Lake and fish. Would have liked Mehdi to have come round to swims once a day to see how anglers are doing and give advise.
