Any particular reason or just preference? I will say I am drawn more to farlows but I don't know why 😁 never fished either of the venues

I think you'll have more chance of a decent swim at farlows. It'll be busy but more chance I'd say

Never been to farlows but I think bluebell is hard to beat for scenery, fish size and quality ,don't forget weed and barbless a recipe for disaster at bluebell, in my opinion anyway.

Does anyone know how busy Bluebell has been this year?
Looking to visit a fair few times July onwards once all club lakes / syndicates / rivers etc are back open post spawning
never visited the place, but looks a lovely complex

If you follow bluebell on Facebook at all, you will know it's a circus at the moment, people bivvy of up behind you to get on your swim when you leave.

Never understood this personally. For one I don't have the time to bivvy up behind someone for a peg.
Been to farlows though and highly recommended it.

Been happening on many circuit waters for decades, that's if you have the time to wait, to get you into a good/better/excellent swim with feeding fish in evidence, rather than a fishless swim. That's what some choose to do.
Or leave a go to another less busy venue.

I saw a lad bivvy up behind someone on a dayticket once,he never asked the bloke so he must of asked at the office.It backfired massively when the bloke went and booked on for two more nights due to having fish on his spot.The look on the lads face was hilarious when he realised what had happened

If anyone ever sees me bivvied up behind someone to wait for a swim, please put me out of my misery with a blunt object. You can have my gear as a reward.
In all seriousness, f*ck that.

I had someone bivvy up IN my swim when i was about 14. Bank sticks in, rods set up waiting for me to leave.
Ever since then i always say im not sure when im leaving yet.
