You need to pm Tommy Rudman via the Standlake Lagoons Facebook page. In my experience he usually responds within a few hours . There are 4 lakes:
Andrews Lagoon
Dab Chick
Kingfisher
Water Rail
Andrews and Dab Chick are syndicate only, while Kingfisher and Water Rail are fishable on a day ticket.
You have to make arrangements with Tommy in advance if you want to fish on a day ticket or to have a look around.
Tommy limits the # of day tickets to 20 per day so that there's always the chance to move if you're not on fish.
A good idea to go fish a few times on a day ticket, get a feel for the place and chat to Tommy about the syndicate.
He's a top man is Tommy and the fishery is a credit to him and his hard work.

A deviation from the question posted but does anyone else find fitting the front bag to the Explorer barrow a complete pain? I note the 2nd gen bag has Velcro on the securing strap rather than being a closed loop of material.

There's 4 lakes on the complex. Andrews Lagoon and Dab Chick are both syndicate only, while Kingfisher and Water Rail can be fished on a day ticket.
Kingfisher is around 10 acres in size with gin clear water, quite weedy and the bottom is like an egg box - loads of bars, plateaus and gulleys to go at. Water rail is a little smaller - around 8-9 acres and again gin clear but with a lot more weed. Of the two, Water Rail is more of a runs water with a smaller stamp of fish but still with fish to mid 20s in both.
It a really well run fishery and I really enjoyed a weekend social on there in June 2021. You have to contact the owner Tommy Redman before turning up (no walk ins). There's a leader ban and barbless only rule. DNA Baits and Martyns Angling Adventures have recently published YouTube videos on the complex.

Good point - forgot to add that I halve my foam nuggets for exactly this reason. Also means your nuggets go further

This certainly does happen in my experience using PVA sticks with helisafes. My solution is to tightly pinch a PVA nugget an inch or so below the bead, which seems to be effective in preventing the bead being discharged by the additional drag on the boom.
When using critically-balanced hookbaits, I also pinch a piece of PVA foam around the hook once the PVA stick has been passed onto the hook. The PVA mesh dissolves a lot faster than the nugget, resulting in your hookbait being able to settle over any debris once the PVA nugget has dissolved. Hope this helps
