I haven't fished it since 2000 so this could be out of date but I caught a lot of fish once I worked out that they ALL remianed in one shoal. I then started to pack away my bivvy and gear every morning and simply watch the water. Once I saw a fish I would move onto it and catch and then watch the water again and move etc. Sometimes the fish stayed in front of me and it meant setting up again in the same swim but it was worth the effort. Personally I would now start with single hook baits while watching the water. I'm guessing that everyone fishing sessions on there will be filling it in and probably blanking so you need to start with no bait at all and be different to the rest. I would also strongly reccommend light leads and running rigs with fluoro line and hook links as it always used to be like tap water.

Hope that helps

Funny this should come up as today i have been fishing and having a chat to Alex who is the Fisheries manager for Rob's waters. Have a good chat with him or Dave Treasure (other bailiff) who will try and put you onto fish.

Have heard a rumour they are feeding some of there other lakes on a new yet to be released avid boilie, not sure bout Acton though. It will be sold from the monument apparently ?
