we have a match coming up there soon and i've never been before, just wondered if any of you guys have ever fished it?

cheers

If it was formally known as Dryad lake (on HMS Dryad near Pompey) then yes I’ve fished it dozens of times when I was in the RN; in fact I helped to dredge it using a mud cat back in the early 70s; however I haven’t fished it since the 1970s so I wouldn’t be of much use to you now I’m afraid

When I last fished it it was full of Crucian Carp and smallish commons and mirror Carp but I don’t know what the target fish are nowerdays; I’d be interested to know though.

I haven't fished there for a few years, so whether they have removed or added any fish, I don't know but it used to be full of decent sized carp and roach. The going method a few years ago used to be on the tip with a ground-bait or maggot feeder, you used to be able to get a really big bag of carp on a good day, I would assume it is still worth a go on that basis.

Cheers guys, just done a bit of googling and found the website with match results which was handy. seems its still carp just a bit bigger...not massive weights so looks like it will be the usual carpy like tactics
