Can anyone give me some idea of depths of water in front of barns bank pegs 123 on B1... is it uniform across the whole width of the lake. Or is there any deeper areas? I have a deeper so will do my homework when I get there, but on the count down now, just five weeks to go , so trying to get as much info as poss.
Cheers

I can safely say without fear of being told otherwise it is about waist deep just in front of you, I know this because I was a but drunk and fell in,luckily for me it was only shallow too, but from memory there is a fully about 19 wraps out to aim for

Ur probably not the first and defo won't be the last..... at least u got an accurate depth 😂 does the gully run across the lake ie club house to tree on far bank? Will defo be worth finding though 👍

This is me standing in the barn bank swim.Im 6ft so I'd say it's 4.5 to 5ft.
I went a couple of weeks ago and it's had a few inches more on it due to lots of rain.
closest lloyds bank to me

Nice fish.... cheers for the info. Looking forward to getting out there now, fished B2 a couple of years back. Had a great week on there, fancied a crack at the other lake, all the lads on there caught well and some great fish so fingers crossed.

in September I was in Willows 2 and between the island and bank it was about 2.5 - 3 foot deep, about a foot down in water than what the lake can take - about 2 foot directly in front of the swim - I jumped in a few times LOL

Water level can be lower at that time of year if there hasn't been much rain. It doesn't affect the fishing at all though - nothing to be worried about.

We only went for a few days had a few and a few small cats, mate had a couple of low 30s and more than me, I was behind the island he was to the side and the fish got down his margin a fair bit.

Thought I would post this sent to us on Facebook
Just got back from a brilliant weeks fishing on B1.... wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff for their help, advice and banter, made for a very fun and productive trip.
Fishing started a little tough with the unusually early warm spell throwing the carp into spawning!!!
Very early!!! This did however allow the cats to get in the action and boy don't they go. Gary had two 100lbers in the space of 6 hrs, the biggest being 105. We followed this up with an 87, 2 x mid 60s and then topped by myself with a beast of 110lb.
Second half of week then proved much better for the carp with 3 x 40 lb fish biggest 44, 38 common and plenty of mid upper 20s to keep us busy.
Bounty is a top top venue with ample facilities, quality food and a great mixed bag of quality fish. Cannot recommend the venue highly enough.
A final note to Bob. I never liked ya 😉 thanks for the laughs and we did get that KFC in the end. Top man have a great summer, all the best from the brummies Phil and Gary
