Fished it last monday, its fishing well but a boat is your best bet. If wind isn't too bad, fish on a free drift, with medium or fast sink lines out to the side and swinging round behind boat before retrieving. Big white lures, failing that black. This sorts out the bigger fish. I'd head towards Toft and Farnborough Spit for starters, plenty of fish round the at the moment. However, if thats not your thing, anchor up and fish intermediate with small lure on point and buzzers or diawl bachs on droppers, or fish floater loch style in front of boat - both those will catch but tend to attract the smaller fresh stockies. Still great sport though.
Have a chat with the manager (Keith) when you get there - smashing chap and very helpful.
Trick is to keep moving till you find fish. Lures work well because the better trout switch on to Daphnia (but will hammer a lure) and they follow the clouds of Daphnia around, so sometimes you need to do a few drifts to find them, then try an stay in touch. There should also be some big fry feeders about - Toft, Biggin bay and the boat dock in front of lodge worth a chuck
ps- its the Draycote Fur n Feather on Sat, I'm fishing elsewhere, but my mate who's a regular is fishing - hope he leaves a few in for you!
