lashy147 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Hi, planning on doing a session on this lake, i have fished before but i often get pestered by bream. I was just wondering if anyone has fished this lake recently, if so can you please give some tips and maybe some information how it is fishing etc... Thanks, Lashy147 Quote
neilscatchin Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Plenty of high 20s and several 30s coming out.Bristol Bait Supplies CS1 boilies have been taking the place apart from what I hear but don't ignore surface tactics. Quote

Â Not sure where that info come from. I'd say more like quite a few 20's a few high 20's and one fish that goes between 29 and 33lb depending on hte time of year I know the lake had two 30lb fish introduced a long time back and as far as I know these are now mid 20's. Its the second time in 10 years or so the club has stocked fish at low 30's and the second time they just drop back in weight. WHen will they ever learn? Quote
jamesmc Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 What are you talking in terms of overall quantity of carp? I can't find anything on their info sites. Quote
mcart_i Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 What do you mean by quality I think carpmadsmurf said it all Quote
jamesmc Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I was just after the total number of fish in the lake really rather than proportions as carpmadsmurf illustrated, so I could get a better idea of what kind of lake i'm looking at. Â Cheers in advance. Quote
Golden Paws Posted June 20, 2023 Report Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks for using your first post so eloquently. Yes it did have KHV a few years ago and they did lose a lot of big fish. The lake was shut for several months as per DEFRA's instructions but it has recovered. There are several good 30's and Blush makes an appearance at 40lb+. Although it's a days only water, they do have a few overnight matches and the average size is usually pretty high. Not an easy water but the rewards are there. Quote
