Been a few times and really like it. Loads of carp, cats ,sturgeon.
Nice place, good sized lake, bottom is fairly feature less and can be silty in areas,
The bait is the feature, put loads in, the fish will move on it, clear you out then move off. Repeat
From my experience It seems all swims/areas of the lake produce with the east bank being the most popular
Fishabil is a great place if you want to fish next to your mates as there is loads of room
Plenty of info on youtube

the way i book it to email the contact details on the web page (lakefishabil2022@gmail.com) with the dates i would like and ask availability.
Pegs are around 40-ish I would say starting with 1 at the corner of the East bank/Dam wall and going around the lake anti clockwise
I think Fishing officially starts at 1pm on the Saturday until 10 the next Saturday
Swim choice is you decide between yourselves or have to draw. But its not really a "peggy" sort of place and fish will come out of all areas.
Im never really after a particular swim but mainly somewhere a small group can fish together wherever that is, but its deeper near the dam wall and shallower to the north bank
