hey chaps, i was told this would get a better reception on this thread so il paste it in now......


Hey guys, i know this is really early days but i have recently booked a 5 day trip to wyreside with a mate that will be in june! I have been to wyreside about 4 previous times but have never done longer than 48 hours. We have been told that we can choose whichever lake we want to fish on and im trying to decide which lake to choose. Its definitely between bantons and sunny one, sunny one i have fished before and would definitely feel more at home, however i have always wanted to try bantons although it is much bigger with less fish. I suppose it comes down to the question, do i commit 5 days to sunny 1 and feel more confident of more fish still to a good weight, or commit to bantons and possibly not have as many fish but be in with the chance to get a much bigger one! Anyone who is used to fishing this place i would love some input on what you feel the best option would be and how to approach the particular lake for spending this amount of time there in terms of baiting up ect thanks!

Dean's your man for this, but personally I would go for bantons, just check how bad the weed is this year, but Bantons seems to fish really well over the last few years.

I follow them on facebook and people have been catching quite regularly, not sure what pegs, but I am fairly sure maggots are doing well. I would take some superglue / cork balls and make a medusa popup rig, sounds like a faff but it's not that bad. Failing that, there's another rig I've seen, where you use a fluoro piece of plastic corn, have a size 14 match hook on the hair, fill the match hook with maggots, then pull it tight to the plastic corn to trap them on.

like this

and this

I added them too. Some very informative info. I think I'd just use a maggot clip if maggots are fishing well. It appears pegs 16,17,18 are the more favored pegs. May change nearer the time though.

I will ring them later and see if they can accommodate me and help me rid this bad spell I'm having
