Hi ...
Going to fish Stanwick in a couple of weeks, most likely Mallard.
Any advice or information.
Have had a look at the Facebook page but not a lot of advice...plenty of pictures though !!
Cheers

You really won't need any advice mate it's absolutely chokka - full of carp!
Find some fish (not hard, it's only a little water) and bait a spot. Plenty of clear towards the middle. Put two rigs on it and await the action. If that doesn't work switch to zigs.
Keep your eyes on the margins too. Some swims are very close together so three rods can be too much imo. A third rod chucked down the edge can't hurt though.
The swims either side of the reeds in the north east corner tend to be fantastic but they can all do hits tbh.

Unless you go with about 13 other forum members. Then it does one carp over a weekend...

Nope, couldn't have been much better conditions. Had fish all over me the last night and all I managed was 2 tiny eels. It was odd

That is odd boys......
Was it 2016 when the whole of the Valley fished really badly for some unknown reason?

I fished it earlier thsi year. Yonny gave me the same advice and it worked a treat for me.
It was baking hot when we went and i did everything on Zigs at 7 foot
Agree with the pike as well in there - had one smash my marker float in the edge and saw loads swimming in margins.

It would have been packed anyway geez if that's any consolation. Get down as early as possible mate.
