A very tough weeks fishing in unfavourable conditions. The lake has been kind to me in the past so you have to take the rough with the smooth.

General Comments:

Week started very slow as previous week, we didnt get a sniff till Tuesday, fish avoid pressure very quickly, too close to spawning time I think. Weather issues as usual but if you spread out and go with the fish the rewards are incredible. All our party caught and pb's broken, Average Carp Weight was over 41lb

Details of your catches:

3 x 50's (50.8, 51, 52.04) 6 x 40's (49, 48 common, 4 x 42) 3 x 30's, 1 x 25lb grass

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Baited with Mainline Cell and essential and hemp. Various pop up hookbaits.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Perfect for a drive and survive. Freezer and Fridge perfect for bait and food

General Comments:

Mehdi is such a nice guy. Really helpful when needed but leaves you to it as you wish.

It was a week of 2 halves really. All dictated by the wind. Weather overall was really up and down. Peg 4 having 8 fish in the first 3 days while the wind was pushing in that direction. Once the wind changed the others picked up a few great fish.

Great average size of fish. Will be back.
