I went on the 16th for the afternoon. It was really windy and for me that made it virtually impossible. It looks like it was tough going for most. I checked the returns tickets when I left and most who had caught only managed one or two. Cats Whisker always seem to be the flavour but Tadpoles, Appetizers, Bloodworm and Hares Ears also work. The wind should be dissapearing for the rest of the week with no danger of freezing. Im back on Wednesday for a casting lesson so Ill let you know how its fishing. Ill check the returns again rather than go by my meagre skills lol.

I fished it around 2 weeks ago and an intermediate with a cats whisker seemed to the way to go. I fished buzzers and hares ears for a couple of hours on a floater and had 3 sharp pulls but nothing that stuck. Put the intermediate on and caught straight away. Plenty of taps and knocks as well as positive takes.
