Take the path on the left from the car park; this will lead you to the doughnut lake. It is a a very well
established water full of character, reed beds, flowering lilies, most certainly not your modern carp puddle.The doughnut
is full of fish you really dont know what you will catch next.
Barbel were introduced to this water and the willow in december 2006 and they are thriving, growing fast,
fighting hard and now run to 2 1/2 pound plus in weight.
The carp run upto the 5lb bracket
so you should land them on you're match tackle.
All
methods will produce but like the willow the pole is most popular, but of course the waggler and feeder have their place too.
The wider pegs like 8, 9 lend themselves to rod and
line tactics.
At
the moment fishing down the margins has been producing, just using the top 3 or maybe top 3 +1 of you're pole, so you're
just on the shelf. Feed little un often to keep the bites coming! pellet , caster maybe corn. 30 pound + pleasure bags.
