Ive fished there for over 20 years. By day, Ive never had a problem, by night you get the odd drunk faffing around, but Ive not had any major problems.
Pike wise, its full of fish to around 15lb. But the are real stunners. Sardines seem to work best.
The top pond is good for tench, but youll have to wade out, clear a swim and bait it up a the same time. There is also some good tench in the bottom lake, but a tree fell last year in the prime tench spot.
Most of the big carp have been lost to the Europeans, although I saw a pic of a fish that looked like the top pond common recently, but it wasnt the best pic, so I wouldnt want to confirm that.
Ive had some cracking silvers. But you do get bugged by gudgeon.
Give it a go- youll be supprised!
