Responding to this old thread as have recently moved to the area and this is one of my closest fisheries so have been giving it a bash. Probably done 10 sessions (mix of 24 hour and days only sessions) from the mid summer 2020 until now. 4 winter sessions.
The only fish I've landed in that time was a 4lb Tench on a float when I had my daughter with me and she had her little float rod out. The only other fish I've even seen come out in that time was one common at around 33lb from the second lake.
Nice fish but chatting with the member in the swim next to me he advised sticking to the front lake as the second lake would "fry my brain". He very much seemed to know what he was doing (could be wrong) but he said he was on a 10 night blank himself. Obviously this is no runs water.
Admittedly half of my time on the lakes has been over the winter but even so, I think I will be looking for somewhere new.
Also it was absolutely rammed for all of the times I was there in the summer.
Another thought. The bailiff is a nice enough guy in his way but despite my asking for a bit of guidance he was giving absolutely nothing away. Isn't part of the bailiff's job to try and help put customers on the fish so that they keep coming back? Wouldn't make any suggestions at all as to location, bait or rigs that are working. I don't want him to do all the work but I would have thought a bit of help to a fairly new boy that's getting a bit despondent wouldn't go amiss.
