Just to let you know it's first come first serve. The last time I was there. We got there early hours of the morning and was waiting in the carpark and see people carrying buckets around the lakes and putting them in the swims that they wanted and that was in the dark!!!!!

Mate if you go back to the start of this tread there maybe enough info on the the lake your after if not do a search on here. It's a smashing lake with a fantastic amount of 40s in it , I fished 3 rods and done about 25kg boilie and about the same in particals ( caught my best 3 fish on maize) but some of the Dutch anglers I fished with done double that.
If you can find Rupert Whitemen (old bailiff ) Ru12 on here he has done a peg guide which I think you would be a fall to dismiss, I spodded but a lot of people use bait boats. For me the only downside was the frogs at night, some will say the train line but that never bothered me, the town is 5ish minutes away with a good supermarket. If it's not to busy you can move. I think I didn't fish more than 20 wraps but I will check my log book.

Thanks for that.... read the whole lot and took most of the day. Are waders required on Fox lake? I know you have to photo 50 lb fish in the water but I don't mind getting wet for a 50! Or are normal boots sufficient? How deep is it the margins?
