Looking for a venue for me and a friend to spend 3 nights mid October. Normally head to linear but B1/B2 look like there closed for bookings. Thought Bluebell but gets mixed reviews?

Does anywhere exist 2 hours from Manchester, preferably allows bait boats with the chance of a 30 and won't be rammed?

Thanks

Why Does BlueBell get mixed reviews ?

It's Excellent apart from when Linear closes some of their lakes, people travel up to Bluebell and it gets busy ! Still find swims and Trev the Bailiff is a complete Legend !!!

Nothing wrong with bluebell at all apart from the bar barbless rule.

Apart from it flooding apparently, quite a biggy if you ask me
See the tough years thread, general section

Or the fact your all piled on top of each other on some areas of the lake.

Was there a couple years ago just catching up with a couple of mates. A fish showed in the empty swim between my mate and another angler. When lined up it was fishable from all 3 swims and you'd not have been casting too far over from anywhere. If it's busy you get hemmed in

^ This was one of the threads I had read.

My mates convinced of Norton Disney now I think, again not sure what to expect as read various threads on here.

Ladywood? Over 70 different 30's, bait boats allowed and some banging takeaways deliver to the lake. Bookable double pegs as well.

Bluebell if that's what fishing is about I would sell my gear you are hemmed in and just fishing in a narrow lane in front of you unless it's quiet .Went once never again it's not what fishings about for me anyway .
Are you sure?
