I know this has been said before ,,,But the anglers lucky enough to have landed fish have done an awful lot of homework.
You MUST locate them first , then and only then you will have a chance.
Good luck in your quest
If you can, get in the snags or the beach swim most of the fish are coming from there. It was quite busy when i was there and i fished the valley swim, not to much action but i did catch 5 catfish (not that big tho)
5 carp were landed while i was there biggest 26lbs from the lawn swim. Also a very big catfish was lost from the lawns as well.
In the days before i fished 3x30lb+ came out and quite a few 20s.
The fish are in there and will grace your net if you get it right, most of the time they shy away from big beds of bait . Best to keep it simple and pva bags . Hope this helps you Gavskin... tight lines..Remember these fish have seen everything!!!
All round a very nice place with toilets and showers (clean and tidy) and at £20 for 24hrs i will be back!!!
well i think 4 anglers on the water would be ok spread yourself out and find the fish.. during the day most of the fish go up the far end ..During the eve/night they move to other parts of the lake .Myself and 5 others fished it last sept for 48hrs and i think 6 fish were landed up to 17 lbs Most fish were caught at night or early morning half way up the lake on the road side. Hope this helps
Its a no-no.
Its been taken off the cemex list of waters ... I live only 10 miles from the lake and even the locals dont know whats going on . The word was it was up for sale but i dont really know.
Such a shame cos its a great little water ...
