Hi, many thanks for the reply.
From what I can gather from the bailiff, other anglers & trips round the lake, there’s plenty of marginal/short distance fishing to be had.
I may have a feel with the lead this weekend and gather some information on what depths/features I can find on the bottom and judge it from there. I’m confident the Dwarfs will do the job, but there’s roughly 10 swims I’ve seen that make me think 12ft’s might be an option.
Hoping to start fishing early March unless the weather picks up between, gives me a few weeks to think carefully about the approach/rod decision.
Thank you
Mick
