sorry Lionel I havent fished it
Oh yes,
Lived in Melton a few years back.
Looking at your profile I will base the response on your predator preference.
It has a good head of Pike and Perch.
Both fall to lures, dead and live baits.
The main pit has some good Zeds in it. Lures or fresh deads for these.
The swims will jump out at you if you take a walk round.
As for other species the two pits are great with the boys being relatively easier due to its size and fish holding features.
Good luck, for the price of the ticket it is well worth it.

Hi Tommo, cheers for the info mate, i did the night on there on friday with the zeds in mind but apart from a dropped take as i was packing up i had no joy.
Ive heard the boys pit has got some good tench and a few crucians in it, are they worth chasing?

I was going to rave on about them in my first reply but then I read your profile and your penchant for predators.
I have personally had Tench to 5lb on simple float or feeder tactics.
I would advise against using anything fishmeal as the Bream will clear you out. Not always a bad thing as there are some decent Bream too.
As for the crucians I can't say that I ever had the pleasure.
I have to admit though it was a little easy in the end so I focused more on the main pit plus the fact that I had the local skip rat kids decide to go for a swim next to my peg./forum/smilies/angry_smiley.gif The main pit is too far for them to walk./forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
In all if I moved back I would join again.
The River is an underfished gem too.
Tight lines

Sorry Lionel, like Chubby, I've never fished the place so I can't help you either.
It seems even the main pit isnt safe from the kids either if friday night was anything to go by. There was around 15 youths camping (not fishing)along the wreake bank and we had groups of them walking backwards and forwards shining torches about and shouting for most of the night. There was another load of noisykids fishing opposite us aswell, considering they were over 200 yards away i could still make out most of their conversation.
I hope its not always gonna be like that down there /forum/smilies/sad_smiley.gif
