I thought it was quite a nice place and certainly looked to be full of carp...

 

A friend and I went down for a bit of a social session in July. Fished near the car park (swims 3 & 4 I think) and we had a few. 18 carp between us if I remember rightly. We lost some due to hook-pulls and weed.

3 over 20lb, the rest were doubles.

Most were caught over spod mix at 50 yards. I had a couple off the top, but they were pretty cagey.

 

Here's me with the biggest of the trip, 24lb 1oz...

Thanks mach3. :)

 

I would recommend the water to anyone looking to have a good time in pleasant surroundings on a lake full of carp.

 

The weed could make presentation and landing the fish a little tricky but that comes with many lakes nowadays.

Fished it for many years now and personally i love the place , it once had

the reputation of being a runs water but since the exclusive booking

system and the removal of some 150 fish this is no longer true. I feel that

a lot of groups rock up chuck out and and can't understand why they don't

catch The worst example i saw of this last year was 10 guys 48 hrs 2 fish . If there a 10 of you going get away from the crowds i know this

is hard sometimes but it depends what you want fish or a social. Don't

pile the bait in ,pick a spot that is hard to fish to if it takes you 6 casts to get there then so be it position is everything and can often make the difference between a fish or not., and believe me the difference in fishing 3 ft in front of a tree line and fishing 3 ft under a tree line will make a difference . Bait , they have seen and eaten everything personally i favor

red or yellow baits my mate dark baits we both catch .The far bank slopes off quickly don't be afraid to fish 1 or 2 rod lengths out the fish

travel along there all day . How many of you going and when ? good luck.
