ryanowner Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 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.

ryanowner Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi Newmarket, Don't be sorry, I totally agree! However I want him to bag a few fish. The lakes I regularly fish are hard going at the best of times and I don't think camping will give him the bug for it!

Drowning Maggot Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Very expensive down at white vane. Pegs reserved for mates etc Not guaranteed to catch either (not that anywhere is but you seem to think you will be more lucky here?) Maybe take him for a day session first at somewhere like little cansiron. No lumps but will catch all day on various methods. ryanowner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanowner Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 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? Cheers, Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanowner Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmarket Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well if the guys reaction was based on ryans first post then thats just outrageous . Good reason there for not sticking your real name in your username ryanowner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bivvystreet Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 So the bloke knew you wanted to get your little bro into carping and that's how he welcomes you ryanowner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bivvystreet Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 As you've mentioned farlows I've never fished there but I'll bet you get a better welcome and they've got some real stunning fish in that lake.check out the reel fishing uk videos on YouTube for tips and some belting looking carp ryanowner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albionchez Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 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.
