great number means you can spread yourselfs all round the lake .use every swim will improve yuor catch rates.we used rigs anything between 6 to 10 inches not much luck with pop ups but snowman or double hookbaits work well. so did single baits tipped with corn. when we fished in august we all used the same bait wich was shoreline sausage oil with plenty of bait dip if your fishing open water because of the deep silt we found that we had to pull our leads out of the silt after casting there is a good gravel bar through the center of the lake just have a little plumb about worth finding .as for the water jeff keeps big bottles of water on site so have a word with him and he will sort you out. if you want to order any bait from jeff ie boilies or particles make sure you pre order pellets are not a problem. might be worth ordering some meteor boilies plus some dip as this is what jeff feeds the carp on simple rigs will surfice i am so jellous looks like our group not going this year but you never no might scrape a last mimute booking

how many of you going

fished this lake twice. last year in august cant praise this lake enough. if you get it right you could do realy well first year we fished we used large beds of baits mostly pellet bought from geof but last year best tactics were single hook baits with 30 to 50 boilies scattered around . fishing far margins as close as you dare bait boat big advatage especially in lodge swim right side of swim by far the best but you need your baits under the trees very few fish in open waters unless you manage to find one of the weed beds best swims 1 2 and 5 but can all fish well. lake has very silty bottom so longer rigs may be an advantage get on the food package and most of all talk to geof top bloke with masses of fishing knowledge good head of thirties but dit have a few boubles if yuor lucky could pick up one of the forties hope this helps just go and enjoy please dont hesitate to ask if you want any other imfo

when we were there the guy fishing that peg was the only angler to catch more than one fish. if there was any swim on the lake i would want that's the swim fish right in the corner on far bank only a short chick as that end of lake quite narrow use lake bates and take maize plum and shellfish was our favourite .your thinking of going when we did and yes it was in full spawning mode but if you hit it right should have a realy good time owner a bit of a plank to put it politely but a really beautiful lake and only a short drive. ther are some monsters in this place any way tight lines and enjoy

wich end of the lake the one with the two floor cabin or the single story cabin

i have seen these fish first hand there is no doubt the fish are as big as they say they are, but i have my doubts about how many fish there are in the lake . i would go back tomorrow if i could get down the bottom end of the lake. i fished the island swim wich is a bit secluded no good fo a social no margin fishing to speak of avoid double swim up from th chalet and single on the same side they are pants chalet swim very good but you have to be in the chalet to fish it if lucky enough to be in chalet hire a bait boat and fish under trees opposite. toilets and showers very good.the owner is a stickler for the rules and treets you all as if you have never fished before .if you can ignore him and the fish are feeding you can have a bull good luck to anyone who goes

fished end of may 2006 for a long weakend with 4 mates stunning looking venue with some huge fish but really hard fishing only 2 fish between us 28 and 29 if you get the choice fish far end as all the fish seemed to come out of the bottom 2 swims
