Would depend how hard the crust is on the top of the silt, if the water is clearish and you see the spot try dropping a lead on it and seeing how far it plugs in which be my major concern about using a fluro rig in this situation, if the lead plugs into the silt on cast then you are going to be left with a section of the hooklink sticking straight out where the lead has plugged in, personally i would probably use a supernova braided hooklink in this situtation Bait wise a slow sinker/wafter or a snowman should just sit nicely on top of the silt

. Sorry matey it's not my neck of the woods but the only Thorpe Lea I've heard of is a day ticket not a syndicate. You're right though there are enough waters in that area to last a lifetime

I like that Phil . Doesnt anybody use a simple old fashioned D Rig these days ? I wouldn't think twice about using it over a choddy lakebed paticuarly in the margins but everybody seems adamant that they would only use fluorocarbons on hard clear bottoms ????

Brilliant for fishing over a bit of chod. Amnesia combi's have been a fave of mine too. I tend to fish fluoro in long lengths, like 18" plus with small D sections.
