Me and a mate did a short 24 hour session last year once, blanked but the weather was [censored] an hour after setting up a strong coooold easterly started blowing and the lake was pretty dead and no fault of the fisheries that made me reluctant to try different tactics/bait which may have contributed to a blank. I know people who have had good fish out of there. Also it is a lovely place and the pegs having power sockets and cafe on site made it more bareable. And to echo what some others have said the bailif/owners are nice fellas and are more than willing to help, my mates fishfinder caught a gust which blew it off course on to the corner of a tree and he punted out on to the island to get it for him when we were leaving without complaining...i wouldn't have been too keen in that weather. Any way i'll be going back soon and hopefully as regular as can over spring/summer. The only suggestion i would say is a ticket at reduced price for a limited number of sessions over the season would pay for itself cos i and i'm sure others like me would spend a little more than we could really afford than on single sessions if a group was at a discount. Also the cafe should sell tins of beer cos them little bottles are pricey and you only get a few swallys!
