Hi - Anymore up to date news/views on these lakes?
I'm probably going in a couple of weeks.

Any information on the cray situation?
cheers Matt

I'm told the crays are much better this year but have no first hand experience myself.

Has anyone fished this lake recently. I will be working in that area come the end of Oct and wondered are the crays still as bad as the first reports suggest and whats the stock of the larger lakes on the complex ?
I am planning on 24hr sessions and worried about crays so will take nuts and plastic. Just wanted an update.

No crays to worry about at all. I've not had a single bait touched by them in the 15-20 nights I've done this year.
Stock wise, there's loads in there, I couldn't tell you exact numbers but there's plenty.
They aren't as easy as you'd think though considering the stock, far from difficult but don't expect to just pub chuck them and catch loads.

No I've not caught any myself. I've also heard that the bigger ones are in the Great Lake. See plenty rolling at first light every time I'm there. A tench angler I was talking to told me he'd had them to 9lb.
