Hi Lads,

I'm taking my 13 year old brother for his first night fishing experience this weekend. It's definitely a one off as I've heard a lot of bad things about this place although the lake itself and the owner seem decent enough.

Has anyone else fished it and can recommend a general area on the lake that will produce some fish without being cut off by all the other lot that'll be on there? (I've heard its a real 'bivvy city' sort of place!)

I'm not looking to be spoon fed but I want my little bro's first taste of it to be a good'un!

I'm taking him up there tonight to have a look about the place and get him excited for the weekend but any info at all would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks and Kind Regards,

Ryan.

Update-

 

Well.. I went down to have a little look last night, my brother was so excited to see the lake and we got turned away at the gate! Apparently what I wrote on here wasn't acceptable!? I've got to say everything I've heard has been awful (damaged mouths, disease, overfished and swims reserved for 'pals' only) but I thought I'd give the place a chance as rumours can sometimes just be rumours... But they obviously aren't if the guy gets that defensive!

 

The owner was very rude to me through the speaker and when I asked him what was it that I wrote that was that bad he hung up and wouldn't pick up again. At no point did I lose my temper (and believe me I seriously wanted to) or stoop down to his level and be rude and he really spoke to me like I was a piece of **** on his shoe.

 

My brothers quite upset about the whole thing because he really had his heart set on the place but we soldiered on and looked at a few other places anyway.

 

Any other ideas? I was thinking farlows perhaps?  :wink:

 

Cheers,

 

Ryan.

How does he know what you wrote anyway ? And how did he know it was you ?

 

What did you say ryan that was so offensive ?

When I buzzed in at the gate I explained I was here to look with my brother and that I was coming up at the weekend, he asked if my name was Ryan in which I replied 'yes, how did you know that!?' It confused the hell out of me!

 

I won't write down the rest..

 

I guess it just wasn't meant to be!

Did you end up fishing anywhere else then mate?

 

To be honest I don't think you missed out on not getting on Whitevane, I walked around it a few weeks ago and it seemed like it wasn't looked after at all, unhooking mats strewn everywhere etc.

 

I also heard from another lake owner that they had KHV again but this is not confirmed as I know the guy has a bit of an issue with Whitevane anyway.
