Details of your catches:

81 fish in total, a lake record catfish of approx 160lb , steve adcock caught 41 fish himself, including a 42 lb grass carp and tench of 11.12, everyone caught so all in all and excellent weeks fishing. I had a 6.03 crucian too.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

fishing at long range with the bait boats. We are all not big fans of them, but having blanked last year realised that they are necessary if you want to catch. if there were two new swims put in oppossite Le chen on the points by the house, this wouls really help spread the fish out. They are wise and just go out of range so its very hard without a bait boat.

Were the facilities what you expected?

yes.

Were you happy with them?

yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

yes, to someone with experience, but not to someone going for the 1st time, they would be better off fishing old oaks next door.

A 72lb mirror - WOW! We arrived at the lake to be greeted by Mehdi. He took us round the lake, gave us some good tips then left us to it. We had a fantastic week and we will definitely be back every year. We hope Mehdi gets his world record carrot this year! It was a privilage to have met Mehdi and we look forward to meeting him again... top man who knows how to run a fishery! We can't thank you enough for such a great week. Like mehdi says this aint an easy lake to fish but work hard and you will get good results.
