Hello Sir! Dreamlakes has had a negative press and i know there are those on this site that have, shall we say, reservations. However, i can only speak as i find so here goes..... I have fished dreamlakes 1 on and off for the past 5 years. I have never blanked, the least amount of fish caught during a week being 6, the most 14. That's not to say it hasn't had its problems. There was a reasonable fish death a few years back, which wouldn't be a problem in itself, but the remedy decided upon did create a new problem. They decided to replace the lost carp by exchanging the big cats pound for pound for carp with a french guy. In theory, perfect. Trouble was the little cats had no big cats to eat them, and the kitten population exploded. It was difficult to have a bait in the water long enough for the carp without being intercepted by the kittens. Over the last couple of years, head bailiff Matt and the guys have been meticulously removing the little blighters whilst continuing to stock more and more carp. Last year i had no cats and, although the fishing wasn't (and never has been) easy, i really enjoyed my week. Cowley.

Anyone fished wally's lake, osminton mills, dorset, lately? Fished it regularly 95-2000. Gr8 memories (doubles and lager at the smugglers!) but aint been back since. Cowley.

Just booked teillaits april 09. All excited! Cowley.

Early or late for the fish. Any time in between for the weather. The choice is yours! Cowley.

Really enjoyed the programme. Certainly whet the appetite, especially after winter with spring beckoning. Cowley.

Have been in 01. Used nash baits on 2 rods, there bait on the other 2. 12 fish on nashie and 11 on there bait, so dunno whether its baitie or not. Lovely lake, take advantage of the boats, much easier. Plenty of room to follow showing fish during the day. Good luck, cowley.
