Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

All caught on the same bait which I make myself a HNV fishmeal calle SLS. Tactics were a bed of bait in a silt bottomed gulley just over 12ft deep

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Overall yes, although the water in the shower could have been a bit hotter for my personal preference

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes this is the second time I have been with Angling Lines and found the service to be excellent, very informative and smooth running booking with no issues

General Comments:

A superb lake which gives you the feel of proper wild carping with the mature tree lined banks and natural but accessible swims, the lake bed is also very interesting with many humps bumps and gulley's giving many options of where to place baits. The owner Mehdi is very nice and helpful with plenty of advice on tactics and feeding spots in the swims if needed, also Mehdi bailiff's with a very good balance of being at hand if needed but also let's you get on with your fishing without being intrusive. All in all a brilliant venue with fish that are in an amazing condition hard fighting with clean mouths and massive tail fins. The photo's below are of an amazing triple take

General Comments:

There are far too many grass carp in the lake

Details of your catches:

4 mirrors to 53.12lb 5 commons to 33lb 3 grass carp to 37.12 2 baby cats 2 tench

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

2 pieces of critically balanced corn over a big bed of partiblend.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, could maybe do with a microwave and another toilet block at the far end of the lake. It’s a long walk with your bottom clenched when nature calls. Maybe having a few bikes for the Angler’s at the far end to use could be an alternative?

Were you happy with them?

Yes very clean and tidy

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes already have many times over the years

General Comments:

It was a tough week with temperatures being high. All fish were caught between 9pm and 9am. Listen to Mehdi the man knows the lake like the back of his hand, he can’t do enough for you. The best method seemed to be drop your rigs with a boat boat full of partiblend and then “ring the dinner bell” over the top of it. I alone put 70kg in on just 2 spots.
