Fished the A30 end 3/4 years ago on the first day of the season. Bailiff came round at about 10 am and confirmed we were the only two on the lake. A short while later 2 bream anglers turned up. After a brief chat they set up right next to us and one of them proceeded to cast over my line! He then came out with the classic 'you've got caught up with my line mate!'
Sadly you even get idiots on VW, not now obviously, not at £1,000!

In my experience the fish on the main lake would rarely show (as in head and shoulder).
We always thought that this was one of the reasons it wasn't heavily fished, lots of people walk around it and I'm pretty sure of the fish showed a lot the many more would have tried to catch them!

Good Luck! It's a beautiful water with, I'm sure, some secrets.
I would love to keep up to date with what comes out (by PM if necessary) even though it's unlikely I will ever fish VW again.

Hi Guys,
I have won a 48 hour session on Viginia Water 1st June 2018.
Anyone got any tips/ pointers to help try land a carp....
I know location is vital especially as I have never fished a lake this size...
Any areas of interest this times of year?
Cheers

Are you able to get down and bait up? If so then I would get down a few times, have walk round and pick a couple of swims that you fancy and try to bait them a few times before your session. One of the problems however is that a lot of the areas look 'carpy'!
Maybe try getting to speak to the members and ask their advice, they might give you some pointers, after all you're only on for one session - unless you like it so much you join!
It's a stunning lake, catch or not you'll enjoy it.
Good luck and please pm me if you get a result and don't want to post it on the forum!
