Any info on fishing this lake? Booked for 3 weeks time. What naturals are there in there, what's the lake bed consist of?

Good stock of fish in the lake, but they're very wily having come from pendle view which was fished heavily. They're still very tough to catch as again, it gets a lot of traffic and they can be picky with bait.
I was up there recently and found a lot of bloodworm on my baits when brought in for recasting. It's deep in the middle for a smaller lake. Up to 25ft I'm told.
If its quiet, try to fish the pegs that get you closer to the wall (where you can't fish from) as this seems to be where the fish hang out. Either the lower numbers where you can get alongside it or peg 9 /10 where you can fish across to it
Too many pegs for a lake that size really.
The bailiff is a nice bloke and the booking on system is easy too.

Thanks so maybe fish with bloodworm as a bait. I'll give that a go. Not sure what pegs have been booked for us. We have 3 doubles booked. So mainly fish to the opposite side and margins rather than in the middle where it's deep?

I'm reliably informed that the wall is the best spot to aim for.
The bloodworm was from a spot about 50-60 yards out from peg 5 which is one of the double pegs along the side at a right angle to the wall. Definitely deeper water there.
There were fish up in the water so maybe consider a zig set up
