Front pond float only. Back pond float or feeder. No alarms.
No surface fishing on either pond. No cat or dog food. Barbless hooks and the usual no keep nets or carp sacks. Last time I was there it was difficult to get through the thousands of small rudd and roach. It badly needed netting. I went early spring the season before last and found the difficulty of getting through the small stuff so bad that I have not been back since.

Thanks guys. Looks like am giving it a go over easter weekend for def so will report back then.....

I fished the high lake week before last ,only had about a dozen skimmers,no carp....looks like they are not feeding yet,more of a summer place ,carp easy to catch when its warm on the bomb ,floating pole ,paste or meat in the edge ,they all work...il be back there in another couple of month

[waterbob]

had the ton a few times on high lake - you will catch the carp close in - and i mean close in, almost on the bank at times

carp are a very good average size

[tommy1]

Your right about the close in bit mate, if your two foot out its to far, you need to be literally inches from the bank.

Thanks all going Monday 5th so will update you then:)

Hi all, spent the day there on Monday. Nearly didnt bother because as we pulled up we noticed the place was flooded, and when i say flooded I mean seriously!!! The car park was under water as was just about everything else!!! Not sure of the usual levels but even the central island/ bar was submersed. But we decided to stay and I can say it wasnt such a bad decision. The morning was spent catching a lot of smaller stuff with the odd nicer roach and bream. But the afternoon and early evening was spent pulling carp out!!!
In total we had 17 Carp out totaling 126 lb. Am afraid to say my partner had the majority, his weighed in at 86lb in total. But not too worry he is new to the sport and now very keen to continue with it!!! Just a note the largest of the day was 9.5lb. All fish were in excellent condition.
So all together a great day even if a bit flooded and Muddy!!!

[clegg]

I believe we were here the same day as you...we were couple of pegs along from you nearer the car park.
Had an unbelievable days fishing... we will have bagged well over 100lb on the poles between the two of us.

Went back and fished the other lake yesterday and had a fairly average day, I was able to pull out a silver fish every chuck but the carp were on the top due to the sun and floating baits aren't allowed.
I fished at about 4 inch of depth and got a couple...Doesn't compare to the furthest lake (not sure if this is high or low) :S

[jackfour]

i was there today only looking round it is stil abit flooded but ok to fish, im going to fish it on sunday, im going to try and get round the floating baits rule by using an adjustable zig rig about an inch off the top, ill let everyone know how i got on

[savage]

jackfour if your going on sunday its matched up on the high lake as im fishing a match on there
when i was fishing for them on the top just had a 4inch hook length with a polly ball 6mm banded pellet and just kept firing micro pellets in was catchin loads that way

[jackfour]

[savage]

[bondy275]

I thought the high lake was the first on the left, the small float only one. I've got a match on there Sunday.

[savage]

high lake is on the right as you go in the car park

[bigdave]

Do they only do matches on Weekends because I was hoping to go on Monday and don't want to turn up to see the place full

Tri star from Bridlington. I think were on different lakes. I'd rather be on yours.
