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 don't 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 4, 1/2 pound plus in weight.
The carp run up-to the 7lb 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.
In the warmer summer fishing down the margins works well, just using
the top 3 or maybe top 3 +1 of you're pole, so you're just on the shelf. Feed little and often to keep
the bites coming! pellet , caster maybe corn. 30 pound + pleasure bags.
