Yes mate that's what ours come to - £25 per day. Breakfast and dinner were both big meals but would still go to the local intermarche for bottled water etc.

Yes, they have what they call an "honesty fridge" at the lodge which has water, milk, beer and chocolate from memory. You tot up what you take from the fridge at the end of the week and pay it off.

Ok, thanks mate. Good to know. Will probably stop off at an Intermarche on the way and grab a few bits anyway.

No worries mate. Like I say, the fishing was slow for us due to the fish being on the cusp of spawning, so a trip to the shops came as a welcome break! All the best for the trip.

Cheers mate. We are not going until May next year so hoping not too hot and they are not ready to spawn. Fished in the area a lot in the last 20 years and never known them to spawn in May but guess there is always a first time!!!

Fished it a few times years back.Very weedy but I didn't mind that having the boat.
Quite noisy road traffic as it's alongside a busy road but apart from that it's up and down all over with clear spots easy to reach, easy fishing

We went start of September and had a great week. We managed a fair few fish between us and everyone caught, my mate managed to get a bit on film.

Thanks mate, ill have a look later. Was it easy to find spots in the weedier parts? Seen quite a few vids and they seem to suggest that baits tipped with yellow do well? Was going to use boilie, pellet and maize.

Tom the bailiff will help you with spots, I came last out of the draw and got one of my fancied pegs. The draw part when he says it really doesn't matter where you end up is accurate, I was sceptical at first but we had fish from all corners of the lake.
