Details of your catches:

With the heatwave and record temperatures 40+ degrees all week and only fishing 4 nights and 5 days it was tough but we did ok, a few small Tench, 9 carp to 38lb, 16 Grass Carp with 4 over 40lb (biggest 45lb) and we caught the Sturgeon twice

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We found it was too hot in the shallows with the water temperature at 33 degrees and the fish happier to feed in 2mtrs of water or more, ronnies and combi rigs did the trick with boilie or tigers topped with fake maize and a good spread of bait.

Were the facilities what you expected?

As described and reasonably clean, if you are on the bigger side then the shower is a bit of a squeeze to get in and out of.

Were you happy with them?

All in all very nice and a cracking lake, I will look to return but hopefully to some cooler temperatures.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, cracking Lake

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, we have used you several times and always the same reliable service.

Details of your catches:

Only caught a few small grass Carp and a sturgeon. The weather was very hot. No carp seen all week on the surface or any shows at all. The farmer says fish had spawned previously, and there was no signs.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

All methods tried and all locations fished with no success including Zigs. We have fished this venue before and have caught well. The fish just never seemed to get their heads down.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes.

Were you happy with them?

Yes the Fridge has been renewed since our last visit and is a lot bigger which made our week more comfortable with the extreme heat.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes although we didn't catch this time we know the potential of the venue.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Always. We added extra people and vehicles to the booking at short notice and you went out of your way to get us booked onto the same crossing on a very busy weekend. Very much appreciated.

General Comments:

We will be back to this venue as it is such a lovely place to spend time.

Details of your catches:

Tough week as fish getting ready to spawn. We caught 3 mirrors to 44lb, 3 commons to 42lb, 4 grassies to 44lb and 2 koi to 30-08, plus half a dozen tench.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Nothing specific, a mixture of ronnies, slip d and German rigs worked. Small pop ups on the ronnies, wafters on the German rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The lake is outstanding and the lodge is excellent. It could have done with a sink in the lodge. Fridge/ freezer was very useful and great to have a social on the veranda at night. The compost loo is pretty gross and really lets the lake down. Shower is very good, plenty of hot water. Overall we were happy with the facilities but the loo definitely needs upgrading.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, we knew about the compost loo before we went but 5 blokes sharing it for a week was a bit much, even though it was emptied during the week.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, have used Angling Lines many times and always very pleased with the service. Thankyou.
