Facilities include clean showers, toilets, drinking water and a well-stocked tackle shop and several reasonably clean portaloos around the site. On Big Hayes you can drive to all but 3 or 4 swims and you are only 50 yds from any of them. All others you can park behind. This is a BUSY fishery and you will have to take what you can get on arrival. If you are there for a few days you might work a move. Lot of popular swims are in the central area of the lake, up to and between the two islands.
There are a lot of fish in the lake and if you can get them feeding a hit is on the cards. I would say start gently with bait and build the swim. Don't fill it in on arrival. Had success with fishmeals here and particles on occasion. Don't ignore zigs. Tight lines.

Thanks guys looking at one of the pictures I've seen it's not that deep only about 5 foot max
Is it a bottom only water or do pop ups work well ??

Bags, stringers, bottom baits, wafters, pop ups or zigs. Keep an open mind and chop and change and work your swim. These are highly pressured fish and there will be lines and bait everywhere. Don't neglect margins.
