Thinking of giving the mets at thorney weir a go next week (mon- Fri). Fished thorney weir a few times over the years but the mets look lovely. Any help or advice? I know it’s meant to be a proper trek. If anyone does fish it, (I know it’s bait boats on the lakes) but do they do the majority of the fish?

Cheers in advance guys n gals

Sorry for late reply. Bloody hard going. Not knowing how the lake worked I got there late and time I walked around it was busy (for me) found fish in a swim, would have been perfect but was a double and not paying £66 a night, went in swim next door hoping they'd come past me. managed to find a tiny hole about 2ft round only 5 wraps out and next morning it was away from that spot much to my surprise. Moved following afternoon after seeing sod all to a corner swim where wind was hacking in and saw 2 straight away. Night in there for nothing. Moved next day to the motorway bank where quite a few had been coming from, did 2 nights for nothing in there even with them showing over the spots. Not loads came out, they started spawning down the shallows and food wasn't on their minds. R enjoyed it, issue is competing against gps sonar baits boats you have no chance, but hey ho, not for me but that's modern day carp 'fishing' for you. Happy with 1 especially as it was my first time and was hard going with quite a few ppl blanking on 5 nights

Not really. Iv not seen it but heard it was the little ones getting a bit horny, so it's been closed. Tbf it's given me an 'excuse' to go to farlows as I prob never would unless my hands been forced per say

Hey people. First time ever going to farlows tomorrow for 5 nights. Have zero knowledge of the place. Is there any advice anyone can give for this time of year? Expecting it to be busy and not bothered about getting in the top pegs. Just after any help really. Got a load of bait as was expecting to do a week on my syndicate but it's closed for spawning. Always wanted to give farlows a go and never had time or clubs/syndicates have always taken president - so now's the time

It smelt nice but the bream loved it. Active 8 and assassin 8 smelt lovely, god that's going back a good 25years. Shame some baits are no longer about, one I miss the most is solar club mix with squid and octopus

Imo it's not that bad because we're now become accustomed to paying too much money. I'm sorry, but £1000 for a ‘rent' is bloody ridiculous! But like everything, people pay it so the prices stay the same or go up. If no one paid the silly prices they will come down. I know it's business and everyone alone the path makes money but just like a reel, £1000 wtf you can buy a second hand car for the same price!

Unfortunately nothing exciting like a grenade thrown like in the book

100%, but prodding the wasps nest will only aggravate them and more then likely make it worse
