Anyone any upto date info on this place? used to fish it before the split and once after. Just wondered if the lake was still ran as a carp fishery. Thanks folks

Sure i read somewhere that the water in the lakes was too acidic to sustain carp, i dont know if this is true or not. I have dangled on windermere,rydal water,ullswater,wastwater(although got turfed off wastwater because it's used for diving). There's a camp site called waterside at ullswater that you can pitch up and fish more or less 20 meters from your tent. Good fun for perch and trout. And a nice 15 min trekk into the lovely pooley bridge village You could try esthwaite which is a commercial trout fishery,good chance of a catch there. I would look for tributaries that run into your chosen lake and have a go for the wild trout(you may have to pay for a day ticket).

The wyreside at st michaels near garstang(little wyreside) has shut down, the tackle shop is now a craft shop and the weird fish cafe is still trading. Dont know the score with the lake, only what i've heard. Apparently it was netted 3 times last year and the fish sold, also planning permission for holiday homes granted for the site of the lake. Shame really as it was a well laid out fishery(and on my doorstep). Back to the original thread, why dont you have a look at four seasons fishery in blackpool. Not to everyones taste and i've only been on once but pals have done well on there. The big wyreside is a good shout also

Thanks mate, hoping to get on for 4 nights in early sept. Will report back how i got on. Thanks

I'm not the most experianced, but sure post your rigs up. Even if i cant help some one with a bit more knowledge will put you right

Carp r us offset, a proper hook Never tried the fox hooks though

Have you tried wyreside fisheries, its a complex of a few lakes and some good sized fish to go at. Also wyreside fishery is a nice little water with a few 30's to fish for.

Sure this has been up on here before but just as i am getting back into carping after a shortish break, i wondered if anyone of you used crimps in your rig/leader making. I have used crims for my sea fishing and had no problem with them at all as a leader component, landed a 8lb thornback ray in a heavy tide. My only concern is that carp lines and leaders are generally a finer diameter and wondered if this would be a disadvantage. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Hi people, its been a while since i last visited the site as i have been out of the carping game for a while as i lost the bug a little bit and couldnt be arsed dragging my ass out on to the bank. Well the bug has well and truly been re lit, not sure whats caused this but i am going to hit my carp fishing with renewed vigour. Rather than float around different day ticket waters i am going to soley concentrate on one water which is sunnyside 1 on the wyreside complex. I would be greatfull of any tips ie depths,bars,channels anything really. I am going to be getting the marker kit out anyway of course but a few starting points would be most appreciated. Thanks fellas/lasses

Hi folks, i live about two miles from four seasons. Due to a new woman i have had no time to fish this place (or any other ) this year. However my fishing buddy has done 72hrs on the water since may, over 3 sessions. He has fished both the runs water and the speci. The results are 2 blanks and a two fish haul on the speci, 2 x 20's no less In his words (this is a fishery to keep your eye on) He also says lots of naturals in the water...maybe a change of tactics if you go. Good luck

Whats the correct way to set up this type of float? Thanks
