Currently in peg 10/11 for this coming week so anybody knowing any knowledge of this peg would be well appreciated...Nothing out on the lake so far but with a few fish moving it hopefully won't be too long for them to have a munch

Peg 10 can be a good swim as the fish do get in that bay, but don't cast right the way across. I have seen it time and time again and it pushes the fish straight out. There should be a clear plateau just right of peg 11 close on not far from the pump. Also u can get onto the fish in open water straight out of 11, don't cast too far as u will push into 8s water. Good luck

Swim 12 is always consistent. Week in week out it does fish. When I have fished it it's always been summer so I have always fished close to the weed beds. I've not really been bothered if it's hard bottom of a little silty as I have caught from both in the past. Last year I fished peg 7 and caught well straight out in open water on a clear hard patch.

ok, this map has the swim boundaries on it too. the grey bit in the middle says its no fishing but this hasn't ever been the case as far as I know! the rest of it is pretty accurate though

I found this map in the cabin at some point and just took a picture of it on my mobile. so don't blame the messenger!

I hope I can remember how to post pictures on here, its been a while!!
