Do you mean what used to be the selby 3 lakes complex mate.? If so, i heard all the biggies came out of the day ticket water and where put into the syndicate water after the owners split the lake after their divorce........still a poular syndicate from what i gather but the day ticket water isnt so hot from what ive been told.......

How come I cant say hob K n o b....but he can say tit.? Theres a rabbit off here me thinks....

I saw this on thinking tackle a while back as well......im with andy, the idea of using 2 hooks on a rig just dosent sit right with me......you can use maggots on a rig without having to use maggot clip or 2 hooks mate......just use floss.....

I fished it last year and caught.......thats if its the carp lake not the cats lake, cant remember what numbers they are.....

Have you read " attack state red" mate.? Its written by colonel richard kemp & chris hughes....... Its about the royal anglians tour of afghan in 2007......very very good read......not sure if it still is but at the time it was the worst tour to date in terms of the amount of lads lost in action since the afghan war started......highly recommend it....

Brilliant read Neil....... great angling mate

Oh right, sorry mate I thought you'd come up with something I didn't understand But yeah its a pop up rig mate.....

Its not a rig I use a lot, but why would you want to use it with a bottom bait mate.? The hinge is designed to allow the rig to sit up from the boom section...... If it was used with a bottom bait, the hinge becomes redundant and you might as well do away with it all together.......

Great read Neil......do you hire all your gear over there mate ?

Small solid bag....then even if you do hit a thicker patch of weed it shouldnt make a lot of difference...... Personally id be inclined to bag up and go into the thicker weed anyway if its as sparse as you say it is.......

Me In if Possible please.....

Great read Neil.......Well in mate....

Ive fished both...... Id give Oaklands a miss mate. Swims are very narrow, the owner has rammed as many as he possibly can onto an already small water...... If you do go though try to get on the Railway side, the swims are a little wider but still not good........Once you get used to the trains running through the night its not too bad. Emmotland is a very nice place, the fish are lovely and the setting is very very nice....... the drawbacks.....The pegs on the Carp lake are very small and cut into the bankside. I have a 1 man bivvy and I basically had one step outside the bivvy and then you where in the water.... the carp lake is set up for bait boats not casting......there where only 2 pegs on the whole lake that you can cast from because of overhangs above you. if you can live with that though and you have a boat then Id definately give it a go though because it really is a stunning place with stunning fish...... The cats lake is more set up for casting though and apparently has carp to mid 20's ...I havent fished it though.

Should have said cowgirl shouldnt I........oops....
