i did fish there once, a few yrs ago, and the weed to be honest didnt put me off, im quite used to fishing in weed, heavyier than that is there infact to a greater depth.
if anything put me off, it was the road and rail noise at night especially, i felt quite drained by it and that was just 24 hrs, so maybe not my cup of tea on that point.
while i was there, i fished peg 13, on the oppersite bank,maybe the flag pole,and the little bay beside it?,one angler was bivvyed up, he cast one of his rods in the next pegs area with a bait boat,and went too reitre to his bivvy.
another angler turned up in that next peg unseen by the angler in his bivvy, bivvyed up,markerd up, rods out, then had a run, at which point the other(first) angler also thought he had a run, so both anglers thought they had a run, but not the first angler, his gear was being played by the second angler which the first one couldnt see or realise.
it wasnt until anglers on my stretch/arm of the lake informed both on the otherside of the lake by waving/shouting, that they realised, and the second angler landed his fish,and the first anglers gear.
