Methods

During the Spring, Summer & Autumn you can expect to catch 100lb + bags of 2 - 8lb carp with a good chance of bonus fish to 18lb.

The favoured methods are:

The pellet waggler fished up in the water 1 - 2ft deep feeding 6 or 8mm coarse pellets little and often with a banded 8mm pellet hooks bait.

Pole fished paste feeding 6mm coarse pellets fished at 5 or 11m or down the margin.

The conker method (8 or 11mm pellet wrapped in paste) fished on the feeder or lead.

Please note the only pellets than can be used as feed pellets are Coarse Pellets.

The lake also has a good head of Skimmers, Bream, Tench and Crucians that can be caught in good numbers on float fished soft pellet, corn, worm or small cubes of meat.

There is an abundance of Roach Rudd and Perch that can be caught close in on maggot or caster fished up in the water.

During the winter the most productive baits are Soft pellets, Corn and Maggots in conjunction with 2mm micro coarse feed pellet fished at the bottom of the near or far shelf.
