Not sure what all the fuss is about with the weed, we went last October and it wasnt as clear as it had been, but weed wise I thought it was perfect. There are LOADS of clear areas out there. Just need to get out in the boat and have a look.
If you dont fish gravel pits or your waters dont have any weed then maybe it might seem weedy but really, if you wanna see weedy, I'll show you weedy! I hope Andy doesnt kill it all, it would really change it for the worse in my view.
Great place though, going back in August for some hopefully warmer weather. Cant wait to see those big lumps in the water....
