Alan, Daz and I arrived at the venue for the first time at about 8.00am. It is a good size water with some large pegs. On testing the depth we found the side we were fishing on was only about 600mm deep but it was a bite a cast on maggot we were getting small roach Rudd and small Bream (6oz being a good fish), the bites were slower on pellet but the stamp of fish was slightly better. The best fish of the day went to Alan who had a Bream of 3lb. The main drawback of the venue is the litter and remains of campfires at nearly every peg I do not believe this is the work of members as all our other waters are immaculate. The sale of day tickets may be a factor as some of the people who have fished this water do not seem to have any respect for it.
