The guy who caught when we were there did so on plastic corn, but I think Rob is thinking of, or has already banned it.

Was there recently, The young balif was unhelpful and rude. I can't imagine that Rob would pay that much to produce those features for the balif to sit inside and not even show you around your swim. We got caught in snow nearly didnt make it and arrived a few hours late, having phoned ahead to explain. We though to make the most of our time a nice recce of our swim with the balif would give us a fighting chance, Instead when asked about the features he didnt move from his chair, but grumbled "invariably 30yards". The positive points were how genuinely nice and helpful all the other anglers were, they were more than helpful in detailing our swims and the tactics that they were using on the day, shame they weren't on the payroll! To be honest I drove 8 hours through the night to get there, and would go again. But I really would think twice if that baliff was working.

I fish it a fair bit lots of commons as previous poster said, also some fish well into the twenties, young lad down there has had all of them out. Record is around the 26lb mark. Fish to the reeds if you can, baits that work well are mainline fusion, corn and weirdly brined cockles! Have fun.
