Best fish was 4lb 6oz and the smallest 2lb 12oz. One caught (second cast while just trying to loosen the arm up) on a black nomad and the other three on a size 12 goldhead black damsel.

The suggestion from JohnH regarding the river is a good one. The river is a bit low, but there are plenty of fish in there and they were rising freely at 11.30. So a lake and river ticket may be a good bet.

If you are planning to fish at the weekend though it is worth phoning to check availability as both the lakes and the river were fully booked last Saturday.
Cheers me dears will be fishing there friday,fingers crossed. ill be taking two rods one set with a monty on a 12ft leader the other with a black marabou goldhead on a 12-15ft leader both with 6lb floro How picky is the boss about the dress lenth of the flies, when i phoned he really didnt give much of an answer, most of mine are 12 long shanks with a total of about 1 1\2 in dressed lenth Gaz
