I didn't like peg 9 TBH as it is like a passing point and the fish seem to like the bays at each end which you can cast across to. If you get it right you will pick a few up.

No mate it is totally untrue, I fished with running and semi fixed leads on clips. He don't allow shelf life boilie thats correct but your will still be frozen if you put them in a polystyrene box, ask you local taclke shop as they have frozen bait delivered in them, they have freezers for your boilie. don't just look at boilies though as they are pressured fish and most of the action in during the dark hours.

Just fish like you are at home, Everyone uses red bait whch he sells there and seems to do well. We all caught on our own as I used chicken and liver, Maize is also worth a shout. In peg 10 to the left is where they boat their baits accross from peg 1 and 2 so fire your left rod up the margin as far as you can and fish two on the bar.

Its a good peg that mate, lad with us last august had 3 40's out of there and a few thirties. there is a bar out to the left at 40 yards and he took all his fish from there. It is well run and a good venue, there is a witchhunt on some forums. Don't believe the WWW take a look for yourself.

I have no reason to exaggertate any report for anyone and for you to suggest this is maybe judging by your own standards. That could be applicable to most fisheries, Linear were the worst when they stated in the angling press that they lost no fish during the floods of 2007 and we got 500 of their fish in our Lagoon. I have not come on here to fall out with anyone and was expressing an opinion and wanted to give a different view from what I read on the net prior to going. Like you said previously you KNOW anglers who have been but not yourself where as I have been and seen with my own eyes....not second hand info. You can't please everyone all of the time!!!

What are you going on about mate? Opinion on what, you have lost me. I have read back the thread and not a clue what you are on about. To clear up your other mail, the 100 x 30's are going into vallee 2. Are you suggesting that I am lying in my factual account? Oh and I know plenty of 40 -50 year old carp anglers, many doing it 2-3 years. To hear them talk you would think they had been carp fishing since the 70's.

I will add the pictures of the 40's and 50's when my oxford mates send me them.....I can assure you that it was a good week with excellent facilities......don't believe the nonsense on the net which I suspect are novices anyway.

When you back over Jay? and when do you leave?

I am back on the 17th october for a week on vallee 2....looking forward to it and getting into some of them old originals Jay

Don't get involved in all the politics TBH Neil but he seems to get a raw deal from noddies IMO. They expect to take the place apart or just chuck bags out and wonder why they have blanked. I am on Vallee 2 in 4 week before he stocks it as there are some belting fish in there already which appeals to me a bit more. Mark is watching all the sites now as some of the stuff being said borders on liable. Glad to see you are doing well though and living the dream, How is Chris and the little un?

Soccer thug from FW!

Hello Neil!

Hi Mate I am the author of this post and the 100 x 30's are going into valley 2. I am on there in 5 week and the originals are truly stunning. I think the problem lies with English anglers who expect to the fish to crawl up the line. For at least 8 month solid the fish are under constant pressure and this needs to be taken into consideration. I would lay money that most of the people who slate these places are just not good enough anglers at the end of the day. Jay
