If your after runs then fish Bonds lake as supposed to the Old Lake (main lake). Small hook baits work really well and it holds upper doubles too; i seem to recall pepperami with the outer skin removed being particulary good. As mentioned the place is quite expensive so try to avoid buying tackle / bait there and take your own food too

I've abandoned Furnace as I could never get a swim, sometimes waiting the best part of a day. Take a look a menards mate, great fishery, limited pegs, awesome fish and the owner genuinly cares for his fish, which is reflected in the rules plus the lake record was beaten on Wednesday and now stands at 53lb.

I used to fish Henfold's a lot, lovely place and a great day's fishing however my quest for larger carp mean I no longer fish there. Despite the picture on the flyers there are only 4 lakes (not 5), I quizzed the bailiff on this and the largest lake on the map (furthest from the pub) was never dug out. Lake 4, the first half was always the most productive for me - fishing the left hand bank as you approach the lake, 2nd peg in, one rod under the near side bush a few feet from the bank landed a 15lb common which is about the biggest they get and a second rod as far under the overhanging tree on the central island as you dare cast resulted in a nice ghost carp of about 8lb. All in all, a good days fishing as long as you don't mind catching smaller carp. (The onsite pub's a plus if the fishing turns naff!)
