fozzyfisherman Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 rite now were talking haha .well mainly carp erm sum bream i think :s and 200 brown and rainbow trout (mental).carp range frm all sizes to about 25 lbs most are either a pounish (pasties) or around 5-8 lbs but all sizes realy. the lake is long wiv some long broken islands in the middle . 1 big tip neevr fish the same spot there they are so weird you may get a spirt for an hour where u r catching then nothing. move lines have around 3 lines. one down the margins, one down middle, one against the island and reguraly rotate the swims otherwise they will go off the boil. biggest tip ever take a couple of cans of corn feed a whole one at the strt of session down the margins feeed big hands of it reguary and jsut look for clouding and tails you will catch many bigguns down there . but they do fight like deamonds so i do suggest strong elsatics when down the margins . hope this helps tell me how u get on tight lines liam (16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenchslime1 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've fished Partridge a few times and generally done very well, the average size seems to 5lb's but I have had them to 12.5lb and the owner has shown me some photo's of 2 seperate 20's, it not a big water so with time you should run into the bigger ones. The water is fairly clear but the fish do come tight to the margins (within a foot!). Baits which have worked well for me are paste, 12mm pellets & prawns. Visually it's a little bland and needs some foliage around it, but the owners a really nice and it's never very busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
