carpersmithy Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 of course jules from what i can gather it has 3 lakes a fly lake,match lake with carp to high teens with some nice roach perch etc....no pods or alarms though!! and the specimen lake,which there is only 10 pegs in total around a water around 1.5 to 2 acres in size!! speci lake carp to 30lb in weight and cat fish to 40lb!!!! so all going well it should be good session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banks23 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Aup mate, i am looking to fish the specimen lake on monday and i have got a good particle mix to chuck in and pop ups and tuti fruiti boillies for bait.... What would you recomend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howsey16 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Iv been and fished this twice and blanked both times on peg 12. althoughthis was a couple of years ago and im still amatuer now so i knew very little about what i was doing. Im thinking of revisiting and after the reports you have made mcpot it sounds promising. If you feel generous enough, what rigs and bait were you using??
