by the carpark mate under the trees with the dam wall on the right. proper gutted mate

I have seen a few caught from there, mainly cats get round by that sunken tree but also the odd carp, to be honest you did not fish the best area, but definately the shortest walk lol.

If your ever down again, let me know and i will point you into some decent swims.

In reply to Post #53
if you fish the left hand one of those swims you need to wade out as far as you can....you can get out 70/80 yrd..its very shallow against the island

other than the dam wall those were the only pegs free. we were hoping to be there for 11ambut ended up hitting that traffic on the M6.

Not fished there for a couple of years now, but personally found the dam wall best to fish from - bit of a pain to get a bivvy up but may have changed since - we're just putting wooden stages down the last time I went

thinking of doing a session here in a few weeks, when I walked around 4/5 years ago there was not many pegs which you could bivvy up on, how is that looking nowadays?

In reply to Post #59
I have put a full bivvy up on the dam wall, no bother
Basically, you do lose the back end of your bivvy on the slope, but more than enough room to have a bedchair in, bag etc and leave enough room for the nutty cyclist from the boat house to get past.

week in week out bivvies are placed along the dam...there is more room for bivvies on top of dam wall at the carp park end....but...a simple one man bivvy fits ok on the rest of the dam..

when the water level drops you can get a bivvy anywhere

when water levels are up, the swims on left of dam on round to the left into the arm have plenty of space.

there are plans in place to cut out and construct swims all the way round the arm and the opposite side of the arm

hope that helps
