I fished 12 in May 2017. First and only time on the lake. Everyone said we would struggle but the anglers from the week before did not turn up so it had been rested for a week. Ended up with 10 fish between us including a pb twice for me and 1 for my partner.

Im far from being an expert,just my observations 
I always fish 2 weeks May/June as well. Last year for example I was in 12 and everybody told me to stay home...weather was on my side and the fish still kept around the peg and I cought.
For me,so called ‚top pegs’ getting burnt out and same goes with hot spots. Sometimes when you use prodding stick in these spots you actually hitting the leads,not the firm ground 
Sumer pegs again...if its warm or pre spawning and you’re in 21- you may have problem to keep 4 rods in water! People catch sixty! fish a week sometimes...thats few years worth for me
If you want to know anything else just ask. I’ll try to help or at least put you in a right direction

Well done buddy. I think that in your case it's more about the quality than the quantity.
It's really surprising how some parts of the lake just shut down, when I was there 19 was doing a few fish and I had a few on the RH side of the island too.
Do you every fish it when it's warmer, I was wondering what pegs you think are better at other times of the year, sounds like you know so much more about the lake than most do.

Lee has the right spotsmans figure for darts but I doubt he would want to take Tom on at football as he might lose.
Well done on the Scar common Tom great Christmas present, good job you asked Lee round he's had plenty of practice lifting lumps out the water ask him about when Teddy broke his leg in peg 16 at Christmas and we lifted him out of the water bearing in mind Teddy being about 20 stone at the time, I was fishing in 17 Lee had a fish on at the time as well.👍

Well Happy Christmas to you all out there at the lake 
When I was there at the end of November there was a bloke that I got chatting with at the shower block who was in 14, he said that he had a 70 while his mate was up the club house  , he also said that one side of the swim is better than the other and that thy were going to swap for the second week. Good mates!
I noticed that the fish seemed to be on the move towards the areas of 18,17,16 and 14 as it got colder, is that usually the case for Rainbow?
I think that the island was good at the beginning of November but a bit hit and miss towards the end?

All correct. Couldn’t sort out the fish without Lee’s help...just couldn’t lift it from the water 
Apparently,it picks up the weight at the beggining of the year...lets hope it will get back to 90lb+...

The report I have seen was that it was 88lbs 6ozs from the photographer and a very experienced carp angler, apparently that fish is about 6 to 8lbs below it´s normal weight.
