If they are in there then you can't miss them, if they aren't, go elsewhere.

as far as i know swim 12 now has a maximum of 60 yards out, Dave the bailiff was very quick to point this out to me when i was there in late august early September the spot at 80-85 yards is old banker spot your about 10-15 yards short of being level for the point opposite swim ten there is a hole iirc its almost 3 metres deep , around it is 2-2 1/2 meters the fish make a beeline for it when they move in or out of the bay that holds swims 13 and 14 like the Deekay says you'll know when their in there, but i do find they spook easy... there are a couple of clear spots close but the weed is starting to detach this time of year so these may be harder to find
i fished this time of the year a few times there and found the little swim on the side of 19 looking down to swim one to hold a lot of fish there is a big gully 3 rod lengths out and then it shallows to the weed i've had two good sessions in there this time of the year in the past

We will see, 19 is taken

I was the first on pegs 9 and 10 but got ejected by the bailiff saying «  those pegs are booked »... a real back Stab after mailing me «  first arrive, first choice » at the payment...

We were there a couple of weeks ago. pegs 6 7 8 9 18 19 could all get near where the fish turned up most days, under the pylons. They were in deep water at night 14 and then when it warmed up in the afternoons turned up in front of us most days.

I'm hearing this more and more that swims are being reserved for either friends or famous anglers? Its a day ticket venue first come first served basis. i'll be honest i don't think Sebastian would be too pleased, i know he's already raised an eyebrow over some of the emails/reports he's received. i don't really get to see a lot that goes on mainly because i'm only there for a couple of days at a time and miss arrivals and departs as i use it as a stop over but i hear a lot more unhappy reports than i ever used to and its a great shame

never really fancied 6 as a swim 18 is awesome fishing the channels in the weed.......you'd think the weed would would be sufficient warmth and protection rather than travel into deeper water but then its deep over by the corner of 16 it was always a good winter spot

Looks like peg 9 commands a lot of water
I've booked attia ( lake exclusive for my party of 6)
So shouldn't have any problems with swims ect

Spread yourselves out, if you leave an unfished area the fish will soon know.

just to clear this up there is no reserving swims for friends or famous anglers and anybody that knows me will know that i run it here as fair as i possibly can,the rule is once you are checked in and on the complex then you are able to reserve a swim you are only allowed on the complex if there is an available swim that you have paid for which i think is fair!

you was'nt ejected by the bailiff!!!! swim 9 had been reserved by a guy that had already been fishing here for 3 days i think you find that fair and how it has always been so get your facts right!!

The Guy on 9 was leaving ! He told me i can't take it since its reserved. Same thing happened on 10. Then I called you and you told me the same. My english is bad but Enough good to understand than you didnt respect your own rules. I was the first on both and couldn't fish on it. That's all
