Details of your catches:

Fished minimally through out the week and did not night fish at all. 5 carp to mid twenties in total plus a sturgeon and a turtle! Only 1 angler but did lose a much bigger mirror close to the net :-(

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Very poor on the tactic front as only fished odd hours, never at night and no pre baiting. The fish were all over the place and any angler addressing the fishing seriously would have done well.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

I love this place and return year after year. There is so much to do for the non anglers and it really is a place to relax in.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes. definitely

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, obviously as I own half the business! I know we do a good job :-)

General Comments:

Really nice venue for the family but still some decent sized carp for the serious angler. We fished in a very relaxed fashion and mostly at night as we let the kids have their fun during the day. Loads of action and certainly not a difficult water - you can catch on a variety of methods as we did.
