Tactics
​The method feeder works well on here as does pellet waggler up in the water and pinging pellet over the top. The margins can be very productive with float or feeder and bottom fished Boilie has been responsible for many of the better carp on this lake, although specimen carp type tactics do not tend to be very productive. If fishing with boilie a maximum size 8 hook is advised and leads of no more than 1-1.5oz with a hook link around 9lb.
Winter fishing with worm, bread punch, expanders and corn and feed 4mm and 2mm pellet over the top.
