Can anyone give me some information on linear fisheries. I have looked at the website and the broucher. I want to know how hard each lake is (day ticket only). What baits etc. You know just general info. Any help would be much appreciated.
Baits - Little Yellow Pop-Ups and Maggots work at this time of year.
Lakes - My word I have never seen such a busy set of lakes whenever I have paid a visit. Arrive at 5am on a Saturday and it could well be last swim on the lake time. I don't know if things have thinned out down there since Brasenose lake opened this year or whether that has just encouraged even more people to turn up.
The webiste is full of info and if you give Roy Parsons the head bailiff a ring on his mobile he is a really helpful bloke. He's even tried to stop me coming down when its been freezing as no-one is catching! I went anyway and blanked ;o)
Baits - ANYTHING
Do they feed in the margins? YES
Do they rspond to single baits or a large amounts of feed needed? BOTH AT THE RIGHT TIMES
Does stalking pay off? IF YOU CAN FIND SPACE
Lakes -
Depths? ALL VARY
Which lakes are easiest? BRASENOSE
Average sizes? ALL SIZES
Stocking density? ALL WELL STOCKED
Are they ever too crowded? YES
How close together are each swims? ST JOHNS VERY
