Has anyone ever fished Trentham Gardens before? I've just joined up for the year and wondering if anyone has any tips or info? Thank you in advance

Gets extremely weedy and busy with the public walking around.Fishing up by the islands can be productive but go around the side where the woods are and you can find them quite close in at times.Not an easy water but some nice fish on there

Not a member, but walked round last Saturday. They are doing a Lot of work on the big island clearing all the big fallen trees. Look on Google maps, all those trees in the water are gone from the side opposite the miniature railway. Don't know if that's bad or good. Lot of shallow weedy water and a lot(50/60) of swans and other birds. Lovely old lake. I'd be a member if I lived nearer.

I had a walk around there this saturday just gone, noticed all the fallen trees removed. I'm sure the snags would have held fish, maybe clearing them will get the fish moving more??? We'll have to see...

Edit - Mind you though I have heard that some builders are lower than a snakes belly.
