General Comments:

A great trip to Lepinet and given the lake's form and the weather conditions we were happy with our results

Details of your catches:

Excellent week in peg 10 at Lepinet me and my dad caught consistently throughout the week with bites being mainly at night when the temps had cooled down. We had 28 carp between us mainly 20s a few 30s to 36 and only one 40 the bites came to particle and wafters. We lost a good few due to the ranges fished as the carps mouths were rock hard so super sharp hooks were a must, we caught from ranges 160-200 yards. I do think it would be beneficial if you could used braided mainline as the indication at that range is not the best and the shelf at around 160 yards was causing a problems due to frayed mainline.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Particle and boilies did is best results

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes great would benefit from another toilet

Excellent lake just be prepared for mega long range fishing

Details of your catches:

50’s x 1, 40’s x 1, 30’s x 9, 20’s x 22, 10’s x 16

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We started with larger spreads of particle and fished over them but as the week went on we began to close in our spread of particle resulting in a high concentration of feed with hook bait over it and didn't give a lot of time for the bait to sit as the fish were the most active when the particle was fresh in the water. This resulted in most of the action being in the second half of the week once we changed tactics.

Hookbait wise would recommend a wafter or snowman rig both worked well.

A large concentration of snags in some areas of the lake ended up losing 15 plus fish due to this so would recommend taking the time to find out where these are and fish the huge areas of gravel. 80% of fish were caught at the bois.

There seemed to be a huge head of fish in the lake so would recommend a total of 60kg+ of bait total, especially towards late summer.

Due to the huge distance of the fishing would definitely recommend a boat with a motor, we hired a boat from the lake but a motor would of helped much more.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were nice and clean and showers were amazing, no complaints.

Were you happy with them?

Very happy with everything to do with the lake, even had great phone signal at the swims. All resulted in an amazing week of fishing.
