Just got back from Parco.Started on pegs 16/17 but there was no fish in the area.We moved to 7 and it picked up a bit.
It was my third trip there and always cought a few.Definitely this was hardest session of the all.
Guy in peg 9 cought 20fish in 4 days...most of them over 20kg mark.Great lake,big head of big fish but obviously not easy
Good luck !

Glad you got amongst them mate!
That was one of my worries with regards to peg 16/17 as it's in the corner but I guess it can be like that in any swim at some time and hopefully there will be a peg or two free.
I've seen that during the summer months the catfish can be a nuisance and to stay away from pellets but then in other articles I've heard people say that pellets are the key to success....... any experience with this?
Take my hat off to you for going at this time of year!!! Did you fly?

I've been in 22 in June and in 9 in December. Its true about pellet-carp love it ! Tried my own tactic at the start but as soon as I changed to solid pva with pellet I started catching
Got 1 or 2 cats in the summer,but wouldn't say its a problem...60lb+ sturgeon will give you some fun during the fight for sure !
No,i drive everywhere mate

It's mad to think them huge fish seem to always come to little bags Instead of beds of bait. You'd have thought they would wise up to it but it seems that's just what they want!
Do you have any idea of when the carp (usually) start to spawn in there? Like May or maybe earlier with the climate? I know it depends on the year but these things usually happen around the same period give or take.
I'm flying over in July as I'm going with my partner and she's not fishing so I think it'll just be easier but for the second trip it's a road trip so looking forward to that!
Did you do well in June or did you find it hard work in the heat? I know the free spirit lads cleaned up in late June/July but I'm guessing they just timed it right and the fish were going mad for it!!
With the cats I guess it's just luck. I spoke to a chap that was getting hammered by them having 7 on the bounce but then switched to pop ups and didn't have another after that.
Just trying to piece together snippets of information as you do in the hope of a successful Trip..... can't wait!!!

Not sure about the spawning but can ask the owner for you. I think some of them were actually spawning when I was there mid June but still cought around 30fish in 10 days
Do you know what peg you fishing?
They feed well in heat as the water is quite deep so no problem witm high temp

t's mad to think them huge fish would rather have little bags Instead of a bed of bait. - Wouldnt go that far... I would say it was easier to catch them that way...

Yep we had -8'C few nights so was...interesting
You got good pegs but as always ,you never know where they gonna be at a certain time
At the begining try different colours of 10/12mm pop ups on each rod. As soon as you get a bait put the same colour on all rods

lol I did think when I saw the pics of the chap in peg 9 catching a few that he was a braver man than me!
Yep it's part of the fun though, tracking them down and getting the result!
You back on there anytime soon? I'm after a monster leather..... that's the dream anyway! 👍
ive just been told that peg 15 is in the shade all day so I'm thinking about changing my peg now as I'm in need of some sun aswell as fishing. From your experience do you know if pegs 16 or 17 get much sun either?

Looks like PVA bags and small pop ups are the way forward then ! Anyone used bait boats on there ? I`m off on a lake exclusive in September and wondered if it is worth taking a boat ( we have permission )
cheers Andy

I would take a boat buddy. Can only be an advantage,especially if you're in a swim where bigger distance is needed
