Feedback & Reports

4x common carp in perfect condition the largest of which was
15.2lb the others all around 10lb.
3x small Bream taken close in on bread.
All fish taken on float fished meat. Pool very shallow with thick brown mud color however fish caught were in perfect condition and really fought. Beautiful surroundings to fish would go again.

Got there about 7am. Some fish moving on the top, mainly smallish carp. Hot day slight breeze. Two carp caught 6 - 8lb on sweetcorn. As day progressed fish became increasingly shy. Water very shallow 3 - 4ft muddy red in colour due to surrounding soil type. Nice pool but not easy to fish. Enjoyable day.

Only fished for a couple of hours before the sun, heat and lack of any shade got too much for me. 12 roach caught. Several carp were cruising near the surface but not interested in feeding.
A pair of adult cormorants were swimming in and flying around and over the lake throughout the time I was there. I also saw a group of 5 birds swimming into bankside vegetation that from a distance looked like they might be young cormorants.

A lovely pool with plenty of features and a rich chocolate colour. Shallow but full of fish that will feed close in. Plenty of small roach and the odd golden Rudd. Some perch and lots (20+) of eels.
Carp proved to be elusive with a few hooked but not landed. Don't be put off by the lack of depth - the carp can be drawn into the margins with a bit of baiting up.
We didn't see a soul all day and the access was good. A pleasant pool to fish and we are already planning a return later in the year to settle the score with the carp.

Mostly Roach and small eels. One golden Rudd. Missed several carp feeding on the surface before finally hooking and losing one.
The pond is chocolate brown in colour with a noticeable amount of material floating on the surface.

Weather conditions not good rained from 9am until 9pm water very coloured. Caught 3 carp between 12- 14lb numerous roach and rudd. All fish in beautiful condition, all caught on sweetcorn. Will return hopefully we will have better weather conditions and catch a few on surface baits.

Five reasonable carp between the two of us, float fishing with sweetcorn. Plus a bream, and assorted small rudd and roach. At least the cattle didn't notice us today! A nice small venue, that will probably fish well in the summer.

Lovely lake. We were left alone in peaceful surroundings with just the cattle for company. We caught 4 small carp up until they completely switched off at around 2pm.

An attractive and easily accessible pool, but very shallow, much only a couple of feet deep. We were hampered by cool, overcast blustery weather but there was some visual evidence of fish movement. We caught three carp between us and lost another but bites were few and far between. Nothing outstanding but pristine fish. We also caught a few small roach and rudd. The young cattle were rather over inquisitive, you soon get to know the ring-leaders by the numbers on their ear tags!
However an enjoyable day out and we will revisit in warmer weather.

Lovely venue, very pretty lake with easy access.
Fishing was a little slow but conditions were not ideal, clear skies with bright sunshine all day & a cold wind from the north.
Between us we managed 4 roach, 2 common carp of 8lb and 11lb and a 12lb mirror using ledger/cage feeder tactic with Corn & lobworm as hook bait.
I will definitely return to this lake soon.
