I fished it up until the summer just gone. Four very different lakes offerring very different challenges. Which lake(s) are you looking to fish?

i was thinkin the island pit, but if u have any suggestions and advise i would very much appreciate it

Never fished that one. I presume you've had a look at the website - pretty sure there are contact numbers on it if you wanted more info from the fishery management - they're a very helpful bunch - VAC's without a doubt the best run club I've ever been in.

which of the pits did u fish and did u have much success

[danm1]

I only fished the leather lake, although obviously picked up a bit of info on the others. "Success" is all relative!

[princeofcarpness]

so can u tell me anything about the island pit i.e stock, depths, weed ect thanks

Island lake is the most heavily stocked of all the MM pits. There are plenty of carp in there tht I undertand to be in the high-single / double-figure range, although there's a reasonable amount of 20's in there too, by all accounts.

 

Not a clue about depths etc. The main features are the obvious ones - i.e. the islands!

 

The club has recently fenced off over half of the lake - with padlocked gates - so that should discourage non-member interest in the banks.
