Yes mate this is a bigger challenge in many respects and no fence to protect from unknown factors so stocks is a bit unknown. Thought to be around 30 originals left but nearly all we have seen so far have been small stockies. I will be going more often and for longer sessions simply because I like being there, whereas on busy lakes I can only stand it for a night or two at a push.

Hands down the most at peace I have ever felt at fishing - its like a nature reserve, natural swims - very well spaced - features galore. Gonna enjoy this years fishing for sure! I needed this after fishing busy syndicates and day tickets for years - give me space to enjoy - bliss!!!

he does like a kipp when out.

Running out of time for the zigs imo mate. Once they've spawned it's time to get on the deck (on most waters anyway) until Dec/Jan depending on temps.

show off, wish my dog could be trusted off lead he would off been swimming for that.

Sounds like heaven, don't rush to complete it take your time, I've been feeling a bit cramped this year so far always seems busy and I wouldn't have got in the swim I did this weekend if I hadn't finished work early, I never felt that way there before, I've also been looking for something quieter recently, they seem to come with a lot bigger challenges and unknown factors though, I'm hoping the weed grows soon so it puts people off 🤞

“ I was born under the hotel end “ . Good memories of Northampton 👍🏻

Will be later once I've got it off the camera, no more action, McDonald's breakfast and home, still it was a much needed night on the bank and breathe 👍

I've heard a lot bad reviews about them....the Carbon baits was recommended by @yonny could not fault the service or product. There's a place near me I'm going to try as I can pickup locally .... https://perfectedparticles.co.uk/ Heard some good things about these guys....

Mine came through last week, I do love his artwork. He has appeared on BBC Countryfile (as has my syndicate😉) Mine are all saved in my wallet, but i'm looking to get them framed, along with a few other pics I've taken.

Fizzing over left rod and another show god fishing is exciting sometimes 😍

Omg glad I got here when i did rammed now but I managed to get a decent swim probably my first choice tbh, (old faithful) what made it even better, within minutes of pulting out some bait I started seeing patches of fizzing in the area,3 shows and a few small rolls and stuff I had to wait to get my middle rod out til I thought they had moved off, then a bit later I did, good job because within half hour it had ripped off stripping line like it really wanted to get away , and I didn't want that as the pads are back up to the surface now, but I held on gave as little as I could and eventually after taking out both my other rods I netted it, 18lb mirror nice to be in a swim with a chance again, I'd sorted all the rods out again for about 10 mins I went to a fancy wafter combi rig with an 18mm wafter struck into a lifting bobbin but catching a 6oz rudd and it blunting the hook meant I went back to a Ronnie, so it's a ronnie on all 3 one match the hatch one tangee peach and one KLS, KLS 1 other pop ups 0 I'm being greedy I want another one now come on the carps 🙏 Good luck ouch and anyone else out 🤞

At that point nowhere 😁 Max goes in a travel crate and gets covered over so he cant see out - he settles well to be fair, I wish I'd have done this with George as he's in and out of bed all night just like he is at home tbh
