A12 / Cuton Lakes - Specimen Lake Two

Below is a link to a review of this venue.

 

As per usual the last section contains an angling lesson from The Noble Lord Grimpenmoor.

 

I hope it proves useful.

A comprehensive, well-written review Steve.

 

I would comment on one aspect (or is it two?). The soil surrounding the complex is clay based and becomes very wet and "claggy" in inclement conditions. This makes access to the swims to the east (furthest from the A12) side by vehicle impossible at times in summer and almost permanently in winter. By the same token, the banks of some of the swims (whatever their position) can also become very uncomfortable to fish. I recall spending 24 hours on the venue in February walking around with 5lb of mud clinging to each boot!

And i can second that as i too fished with tryzard at the same time and must admit it does make you want to stay in your bivvie however it is a nice venue without a doubt .
