I am going to be very secretive about this lake. I live very locally to this lake and have done for the last 15 years but have only just stumbled across this beauty. You are only able to get a day ticket as night fishing is strictly for members only. 20 lucky members a year a granted a pass and i’m on the waiting list.
So.... I went and done a day up there the other week. A brilliant boiling hot day but with a north wind blowing right across the lake put a downer on things. Not knowing what the lake was like I had a good look around in the morning for about an hour and with me being the only one on there made things a lot easier to look for the tale-tale signs of carp movement. Armed only with the glasses, all I was able to see were a few moving reeds by the middle island and some small silver fish being eaten by some pike!
The decision was simple, I had to fish one rod to the middle island where the only sign of fish had been and the other rod I was going to cast around to feel for a harder spot in the middle of the lake.
After mid day and several casts later with only a few beeps on the bite alarms, I decided that a change of swim was needed. Constantly looking around the lake for signs of fish and not seeing anything apart from the movement first thing, I opted for a swim by the reeds with a nice back channel.
Finishing the evening with not so much as a bite, and a little sun burnt, I had a great day!
I will be back soon as i know that there are some monsters lurking in the stunning lake. AND....... let’s keep my fingers crossed for that night ticket!!!
