Thinking of fishing Norton Disney in a few weeks but looking for some info on the place. Whats the best water to head for, a few bites over 48hrs but the chance of a chunk? TIA

I am giving it a try this Friday for 2 or 3 nights, its a bit of a trek of around 100 miles each way but fancied giving it a go with a mate for a couple of days chilled fishing.
Loads of vids on youtube (thats been my source). It will depend on swim availability I guess but all lakes look decent depending on what your after. See you want a chunk so either Pettit's or Turner's look to be your best bet.
I am hoping to fish either Holdens (has a few double swims) or Stocks lake, purely as its a weekend social so not bothered about massive fish just a few runs and a nice catchup
I will update once I get back.

I was thinking about giving this place ago but just for a day session maybe late summer, looks a very good set up from what I've seen from the videos. Good luck 👍🏽

I've fished the place a couple of times. 48 hours on Petites where I managed a 24lb common. This is one of the lower stocked, big fish waters.
I also did 48 hours on Hodgetts which is their out and out runs water for 4 fish, all doubles.
It is a very well run day ticket, swims are really well spaced and comfortable to fish. Loads of water to go at. Bailiffs are helpful and friendly.
Whichever lake you end up on, I would listen to the bailiffs. They will put you on the known hotspots. And also look at the map of the lake beds as there is some very deep water in front of some of the swims. Lastly, buy the house pellet. It is sold at cost so very cheap, and the fish love it.
I honestly believe that Norton Disney will be the premium day ticket in the country in a few years as it matures and the fish grow as long as they don't do a Linear and cram everyone in.
