General Comments:

Lake owner Richard very friendly guy lets you know lots of useful information not only about fishing tactics bait etc but where local shops are. Also at the end of a phone if needed, definitely a 10/10 holiday I would go again and again.

Details of your catches:

Andy x15 carp to 37lb
Jason x13 cats to 63lb and 4 carp to 39lb
Paul x12 carp to 44lb 1x cat

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Finding fish, small beds of bait, lots of margin work and wafter. Pink was the best colour for me but also match the hatch with colour toppers.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Absolutely perfect, what more can you ask for. Shower was good, and kitchen well fitted.

Were you happy with them?

Yes all very good.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Shallow corners of the lake (not lodge corner), quality bottom bait. Pops and wafters did nothing.
Very silty, longer rigs and spinner rigs were effective

Richard the owner is a lovely guy and very helpful, aided by his lovely dog Bob.
The lake is beautiful and very peaceful, however it is a bit shallow, virtually all the carp were in the shallows given the hot weather. Carp predominantly came from the 2 gate side corners of the lake. My personal opinion, also our group opinion is that the lake is not suitable for 5 anglers, 4 at a push, but ideal for a group of 3. We caught between us all the big catfish in the lake (plus plenty of very small ones) and with the layout of the lake they caused carnage, 3 rod set ups were wiped out on numerous occasions. As previously stated 3 anglers would be less on top of each other, allowing for more productive angling.

Details of your catches:

35 fish in total.
9 cats - 6 under 20, 2x 30's, 1x 55lb
1 ghosty 13lb
4 commons - 3 under 20, 1x 25 1/2lb
21 mirrors - 2 under 20, 13x 20's, 5x 30's, 1x 47lb PB

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Solid pva bags cast to showing fish. Bottom baits fished over piles of particles

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes the facilities were absolutely fine, had all thats required in a fishing cabin

Were you happy with them?

Yes the venue is perfect and the cabin was perfectly comfortable and had everything we needed. Uk plug sockets, gas oven, microwave, all pots and pans ect

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes the venue is great, very peaceful, Richard is a top bloke who couldn't do enough to ensure we had a good time and caught fish, Bob the dog isn't a bad lad either

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes 100 percent
