Hi there i have fished it twice and you need to fish a single pop up for the carp with a few freebies round it and pin your lines dowen with a back lead as it is very shallow.also dont be scerd to fish the margines .if you fish anythink bigger then 18mm you will have the big cats on you and trust me these are the old burton mere cats they will have you in a mess if you aint got the gear for them.i seen one lad in a right old mess under the willow tree roots and a big birds nest on his reel.
