Hi guys, off out next Friday to DL3. I have spoken with Dreamlakes about Landing mats and they have said to just ask the bailiff for one when we arrive. Do we take the chance of not taking one and there being some spare?? Thanks

The mats are not meant to be free you're meant to hire them so to be sure hire and pay for one in advance before you go.

Yes thanks, I was aware that they had to be paid for which is why I rang - but to be told to ask the bailiff for one when we got there seems a bit odd to me....

In that case I'd do as they suggest then. I've never known them to run out and I'm sure the bailiffs will conjure one up for you from somewhere if you get into difficulty.

Are they really that anal about the make of fused leader, I have a load but they are not Korda. Not that you can tell the difference.

I'm off to DL2 on 27th having swapped from lake 1 due to cancellation on 2. Looks like the weathers getting hot with little wind there any recommendations on swim choice as I have never fished 2 before, we are 8/9 in the draw. My sons not the best of casters , roughly how far is the middle, I'd rather catapult than spomb to keep disturbance down. Bring on the lucky ice creams

All swims produce on DL2

The middle is between 18-20 wraps from most swims but i've had fish from much closer in. Just because most people fish to the middle, doesn't mean its always the best place to be.

Being 8/9 in the draw you have lots of choice but generally the middle and corner swims get picked first.

I was considering swims 9/10 the double so I can be near my lad and help out, are there any good features . As I have ordered 15mm guess its bags or spomb but with the hot weather don't think large quantities will be needed. Just been in the garage sorting the gear OMG so many bags. can't wait now only one week to go.
