Sounds like heaven, don't rush to complete it take your time, I've been feeling a bit cramped this year so far always seems busy and I wouldn't have got in the swim I did this weekend if I hadn't finished work early, I never felt that way there before, I've also been looking for something quieter recently, they seem to come with a lot bigger challenges and unknown factors though, I'm hoping the weed grows soon so it puts people off 🤞 kevtaylor 1 Quote

Thought to be around 30 originals left but nearly all we have seen so far have been small stockies. I will be going more often and for longer sessions simply because I like being there, whereas on busy lakes I can only stand it for a night or two at a push. yonny, elmoputney and levigsp 3 Quote

chillfactor Posted May 23, 2022 Report Posted May 23, 2022 Well the exclusive lake we had booked at woolpack ,has started spawning 🙈. As we were here, we ended up on one of the syndicate lakes instead of a refund, so only just got the rods out & sorted. 🤞 Golden Paws, commonly, bluelabel and 8 others 11 Quote

That's what we thought mate when the offer was made . Managed 3 bites so far , 1 lost & 2 Tench . Leaning towards the lost fish being a Tench too . All 3 very similar bites"drop backs" Nige has had 2 stockies & mick 1 stockie all low doubles. Think we've had 7 bites between us . Just need what's on the end to change 🤞 yonny, kevtaylor, commonly and 1 other 4 Quote
Carpbell_ll Posted May 24, 2022 Report Posted May 24, 2022 I had similar turned up sunday to a few left on the lake come monday just me and one other on there, then some chubby bloke came round and asked me why i was fishing they closed the lake, i was like eh? yeah just seen a few spawning he said, so sent a message and they closed the lake, to be fair both me and the other guy on the lake hadn't seen any spawning, they let me jump on the big lake for the night as it was tea time and a bit late to be packing up and heading home, chubby guy must think i get up and constantly monitor facebook, thought he was a bailiff at first... still no spawning when i left. rod n dog shot, that's what fred thinks of the last two days snowmanstevo 1 Quote
