General Comments:

Facilities were ok but overall not happy with lake or details I was informed off prior to booking. Was informed by lake manager on what’s app that the lake depth was average 5-6ft throughout only to find out after scanning whole lake with my deeper Quest bait boat that the lake was Infact only 2.2ft -2.6ft max dept. Water levels where also at max level so no drop in water column. Very very thick clay/silt bottom so unable to even cast a 2oz lead without it plugging the bottom of the lake due to how shallow it is. Lake is overrun with poussin chats and crayfish and not to mention the amount of rats was overwhelming. Swim 1 was our swim and due to the above issues and also a huge chestnut tree over hanging the whole swim we struggled to get any sleep due to constant falling debris (nuts/branches) landing on top of your bivvy as well as on top of the plastic roofing on top of the shelter. Ordered baits which we was informed would be on our swim for when we arrived and nothing was there and we had no bait for 24hrs!! When we eventually received our baits the partical and maize were days old if not over a week old and was practically rotten and smelled like human sick and none of it was the amount we actually ordered. *Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear you had a frustrating week. We have discussed your feedback with Bailiff Mark, we are really sorry for any misunderstanding regarding the water levels. These are clearly displayed on the venue webpage and Mark does not believe he would have told you otherwise – there would be no point to this. To our knowledge, poisson chat have not generally caused problems on the lake this season. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and have updated the lake description to include this information. Mark informed us that your bait was delivered around 5pm on Saturday – apologies for the delay. If anglers have any issue for example with bait please let bailiff Mark know, he will do his best to assist.

Varied around the lake. Our results individually were as follows: 9 carp to 44lb, 5 carp to 32lb, 13 carp to 32lb, 7 carp to 34lb, 3 carp to 28lb 2 carp which were 34lb and 36lb.

Lots of particle. We caught mostly on tigernuts but a few on boilies. Lake quite shallow but carp still catchable. It was cloudy and raining when we were there.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes.

All fish but 3 caught far bank on size 4 hooks hair rig with 3 tiger nuts. Every fish on tiger nuts and very hot weather, bites all times day and night.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Fished peg 5, huge swim with a big wooden shelter that we slept under the last night as the bivvys were dried out the day before, saving a lot of hassle on the morning we left.

Were you happy with them?

Yes very, peg 5 has its own toilet behind swim that does the job. Also shower block was clean and tidy with a fridge freezer. All power comes from solar panels so advise a good power pack. We had an ecoflow power bank with own solar panel that lasted and baitboat a must to get bait to far bank. Lake depths 0.8 mir all over lake with very little snags.
