Specific spots detailed in the log books there. Just off the lillies and overhanging trees produced slow but steady throughout the week. Quest baits Rahja spice and Tiger nut boillies with the glugs. double 14ml bottom baits with very few free offerings. Often didn't fish during the day but caught late evening and then reeled in in the early hours. A few runs in the day time.

General Comments:

Wonderful place and fishing was great. The 43.08 certainly put a smile on Lukes face, previous PB was 18lb. No one was on Lotus lake and we were offered to fish on there as it is generally easier due to less pressure. But we stayed in Lake House on the main lake and didn't want to leave the pool area. Fantastic holiday for all 6 of us though only one angler :-).

General Comments:

The house and location is great, The hosts giles and leslie are extremely helpful. The fishing is extremely difficult - we fished day and night for 6 days and caught 2 carp the day before we left. The weather was mixed thunder and showers with sunshine towards the end of the week. Giles is extremely helpful and tries to point you in the direction of the fish, he even fished with us for six hours one night but we still had no luck! its a beautiful location and lovely facilities just a shame the carp were not feeding!
