i’m not sure at all if i’ve found the fish. it’s not a highly stocked lake to be fair. i’ve not seen any fish roll or and signs of fizzing but i expect it to be quite dormant at this time of year. I’ve tried a high vis pop up but no joy, but i suppose if i’m not on the fish i’m not going to catch! i think i need to put some more work in maybe go down and spend the day and not fish, watching the water and walking around. Thanks for your reply it’s all very very helpful and has got me thinking. Anymore information you think of will be greatly appreciated.

This is all very helpful thank you so much!

i’ve had a lead about but find it hard telling the difference between a clear spot and a leafy spot. maybe i should get braid on my marker rod for maximum sensitivity and feel.

Recently joined a syndicate and the lake is about 300 years old. it’s tree lined all the way around the lake with the trees predominantly being old oaks. There is lots of leaf litter on the lake bed and quite silty to. I’ve done 3 sessions and not a single run/bite. Any bait or rig tips or just any advice would be great and really helpful.
