General Comments:

Was a very mixed week with the weather starting off mid 20s and sunny until Monday when it dropped to 14c started raining and pretty much stayed for the rest of the week with the odd dry patch which meant we didn't pick up our 1st fish until the Wednesday morning.
From Wednesday onwards for myself I had a few bites each night ending up with 8 fish and losing 3 unfortunately my cousin only managed the one. I do believe we would have done considerably better had the weather not been so up and down.
The quality of the fish are second to none.

The lake owner Nigel was brilliant he couldn't do enough for you. He will give you all his knowledge of the lake and spots to fish too or he will leave you to it if that's what you prefer. He also helped me make a few rig changes, I had only brought braided leaders and Nigel suggested changing to fluro leader as the water was clear. I didn't have any but Nigel supplied the leader material and helped me get some new ones tied up and back to fishing. Couldn't ask for more.

We would just like to say a massive thank you to Nigel for having us at his lake, any problems we had were swiftly sorted.
We had many laughs this week and for a venue only open since August i'm excited to see what happens in the coming years.

Details of your catches:

We had a great week with multiple carp to the mid 40's

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Particle and boilies fished to the margins was the most effective tactic, they were very particular with spots so its important to find areas they are happy to feed on

Were the facilities what you expected?

Fantastic facilities, nice hot shower

General Comments:

Epic venue, friendly owner, unbelievable carp

Details of your catches:

Unfortunately no fish for me. Very hard week’s fishing with unfavourable weather conditions. Lost 1 fish in the margin snags.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I didn’t. Listen to Nigel, he knows his lake. Look for clear spots in the weed and the clean patches in the margins where the fish have been feeding.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, exactly as described in the write up. Will be much improved once the solar power is fully installed.

Were you happy with them?

Yes.
