Poisson chat where destroying the boilies and pellets

General Comments:

One swim was deeper then the rest, the lake in general is quite shallow all all around
the bailiff recommended using tigers, although the website mentioned only 250g per person per week, between us all we used 60kg over the week. Worth speaking to the bailiff before heading out. Frank was our point of contact.
Mark was available for bait or any other needs.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback :-) The usual rule regarding amount of tigernuts has been relaxed due to the crayfish this year.

Details of your catches:

3 Grass to 44lb, 1 35lb Common.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Slow week with all fish being up top end of lake. Tiger nut with fake corn. Poison chat and crayfish present so the use of fake baits and tigers is essential.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, basic but perfect for what you need.

Were you happy with them?

Yes.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, beautiful place to fish. The shelters in peg 1 and 5 are fantastic.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes.

General Comments:

Will return again. Hopefully next time fishing isn’t as slow. Frank is very helpful and would recommend this venue.
