right, im a member of a fly fishing club, i tend to fish more on the fly than coarse fishing these days but the club owns a fishery which has 1 trout lake and a carp/coarse lake.
the carp/coarse lake has barely ever seen bait or a hook, its very well maintained but it just never gets fished.
i know it holds a decent head of carp and tench (seen plenty of both) and im presuming the usual coarse fish will be present.
it's an old gravel pit i think and has no obvious features other than the margins and overhanging tree's. not much weed is visible, if any.
the initial plan is a 24 hour session (as night fishing is allowed).
im planning on doing an exploratory session with a feeder rod and a marker rod to try and feel around on the bed for features and likely fish holding areas.
so, what i wanna know is, how would you guys go about fishing such a water?
oh by the way, the lake is about 17 acre.
any tips and advice greatly appreciated
