I fished an overnighter on the specimen lake a few years ago with a couple of mates. It is only tiny, just a hole in the ground really, although mature.
We had a few smallish carp, around 10lb, a few small cats and one cat around 20lb.
It was Ok - not that great to be honest.

I fished here in the middle of summer. Got a week in static inc fishing for 70 quid on Ebay
Was scorching hot the week I went, fished mainly early mornings and evenings. Its rammo with fish. Best lake IMHO is the lower one across the field. Have 7 doubles in a short session on there, despite regulars claiming it to be the hardest of the lakes. Fished farthest end, against far tree , baits on edge of treeline...run after run. The other lakes seemed to produce all over, stalking round in the morning the betrayed their presence easily and were suckers to catch. Never fished the Speci lake, but it looked a shallow weedy hole to me

 

[Colin Harlow 2]

they have done a lot of work to clear the weed and lay a path around most lakes

Hi Colin,what do I need to catch the cats in the specimen lake,I've never caught one.Gareth,maybe I'll see you there 28thApril-5thMay.

i am there 21/4 for the week. if i was fishing for cats i would use 22mm halibuts freelined, or mattesons sausage. use a braid hooklength and you need forceps and a leather gardening glove plus a mat. they usually behave on the mat.
