Yeah no doubt they are going into their other lakes the other side of the railway. Real shame though. Its not like the carp weren't doing well in kingy anyway. I was going to back for a go at them in the spring but not now. I will have a go for the carp on one of the lakes next year, but was going to carp fish kingy during the day and for the cats at night. Can't see boats being banned though, some areas of kingy will be nigh on impossible to land them without going out, the weed can be horrendous. Thick right upto the surface in 30ft plus depths. I've wound in 6ft balls of the stuff on many occasions without a fish attached so can't see how you'd land much in that from the bank

i think there is a lake behind fox that they would go into the railway lakes are Jurassic and full of good stock fish it would be almost impossible to get them out again, i also don't think they have scratched the surface with removing the cats from kingy iv'e known two different fish over 160lb that haven't been landed yet to be removed so keep your cat gear for a while yet

Just returned from abbey boats on kingy r still in use stil plenty of cats they will be impossible to ever remove them all as I got done numerous times by them weed is still bad in places but it's what they live in I fished in the weed and did well the carp will prosper no question kingy was fishing well when I was there 3 weeks ago rats were of no issue complex was very quite due to the heat I think but fish were still coming out complex is still relaxed nobody on ya back when fishing cats r being put in a lake called hook I'm think and won't be fished for but sold on at some point . I believe u will always be able to target cats in kingfisher no matter how much they remove certainly for the next year or 2.
At least the post on facebook clears up any confusion about boats 
Can anyone tell me if there are toll roads on the way to abby and if so ruffly how much ?? Cash/card????

Yes mate there are, about 18 euro each way if I remember correctly. You can do either cash or card, although my mates card would work on them mine did

Had one for 6 years till last year which was a big disappointment, made some great friends and most people where regulars every winter, it was a good atmosphere, i don't know how it will pan out this year as all the winter tickets where sold off a waiting list before a lot of us had a chance to buy them, a large group of us have been invited to a winter ticket on a well known dutch lake by one of the old winter ticket regulars so looking forward to that this year.

not the swim it was now its been restricted to 60yards, but stand on the pallet in the front of the swim look at 90 degrees and you should see a overhanging tree into the water (cant miss it most of the lower foliage is missing where it's been cast at a million times) you need to be under the overhang
if no one is in 10 then at 85 yards directly to the pilon just to the right of the island is a hole i had 5 fish out of that last year just don't get caught casting there
then there is a bag hanging in the tree to right about 45 degrees just find the gravel there those are the spots i fish when there
Best of luck
