Yeah few times, never had a carp. Had everything else in abundance including several large (1lb+) Roach on zigs believe it or not

Fish singles and sticks until you know whats going on,the kiss of death can be lots of bait to start with. Small trimmed down baits are well worth a go. Stay away from the particle approach as there are FAR more bream and roach than Tony suggests and they are impossible to feed off. Margins at night time are worth a bash aswell, i had a surprise 9lb tench last time

Lonsdale park? I doubt it, not for me mate.

Anyone interested should have a browse around. Id love to post all the info with the links to the site/s but im afraid its against the rules on here. Unbelievable though

Anyone else heard the Scar has apparently hit 99lb Posted on another forum: "Just to update everyone on the recent capture of the Scar at 99 lbs... It was caught, and it did weigh in at 99 lbs...The scales are on their way to be verified at W&M..but I'm certain they are acurate. The fish has gained 8 lbs in weight since it's last capture 5 weeks ago, which can only be down to the fish taking on water just prior to spawning, which is part of the normal spawning process....I'm a bit concerned for the fish at the moment, and will feel a lot better once it has spawned successfully. Hopefully we will get to see it again fairly soon, back at it's normal spawned out weight, as it's in a very delicate condition at the moment, and we can't understand why it was even interested in feeding just prior to spawning. I doubt if there will be a record claim this time, as my mate caught it while I was taking a weeks break in the South of France, and he has no independant witness, just his family... The fishes condition is taken into account too...if it gets caught again at a similar weight then thats different....But it's his shout at the end of the day, so if he wants to claim it he can. But look on the bright side of it.....even though it was holding water, it shows the fish is capable of supporting such a weight, and happy to feed too! so could maybe achieve a similar regular weight one day....but I think it will take it a fair while to do that though to be honest. Ambrose Smith, the fella that caught it.....took a handfull of pictures and got it back as soon as possible, he was quite worried about dealing with the fish with out me being there, as he was aware of how close to spawning they were.... I'll ask a mate to post one up here so you can all have a look. Well done to Am' though...he caught the Scar and it weighed 99 lbs!...I understand it's a new PB for him. regards to all, Luke"

Great first post! Welcome, and all the best with the lake

Best forum for Northerners is NCFF, loads of stuff on there mate. sorry had to remove your link, rules are rules and we dont allow links to other forums jules007

Cromwell.

Most are actually fed and raised here,off site. Brought over much smaller than you would think.

As far as im aware no, night fishing is on the year only. Good luck anyway.

Its 140 a year mate, youve missed the renewal date though. Its not worth driving from harrogate if thats what you want to know. Full of divers, watersports etc. The owner makes more from these so isnt interested in carp fishing really. The fish arent massive, its done a supposed 30+ and the average stamp are doubles. 65 acres ish, very deep in places and clear water. Potential it has, worth it? I dont rate it and its only 30 mins from me and relatively cheap to fish.

Wyre lake (wyreside fisheries) nuff said........

No it isnt not a nice guy at all im afraid. Id love to go into detail but i cant publicly....

I had a winter ticket on it and it was ok. Fair weather anglers not in sight. Bit of a rat race any other time of the year. Baitboats galore, they need banning really. Its actually priced according to the stock. I know of many lakes that are the same price or £5 less with only 20s in. At the right time of year it will have 5+ 40lb fish with more 30s than anyone could want.

i have to say fantastic stuff. no more steaming i use it for my zigs as well, so easy to use doug Be careful with flourocarbon for Zigs, especially longish zigs and higher BS' because it will drag your foam/popup or whatever down over a period of time.

To be honest id only use illusion as a leader or as part of a stiff rig. If you must then Stretch it out to straighten. This reduces the BS but it does straighten it. Dont use the higher BS' for normal Knotless knot links or you will have the issues you mention. Try the lower strains or go with ESP ghost soft or IQ soft. And yes, with the higher Breaking strains a 2 turn blood will be fine.Blob the tag with a lighter aswell.

Blood knot even

2 Turn grinner

Caught my PB on a 10lb double strength hooklink. One fish will hammer it though so even if your hook is still sharp the link will need changing.
