Hi all I might be fishing draycote on tuesday, any ideas on best methods areas? cheers

Are you fishing boat or bank?

If you're on the bank, then all around Toft is going to be your best bet. I fished on Saturday morning and had 5 fish on Diawl Bach. A guy next to me was fishing a single black and while buzzer (I didn't see the pattern) and was catching a fair few too.

Quite a few boats were moored up in Toft too, although some were lined up along the natural bank, and seemed to be fishing lures on sinking lines. I wasn't watching too closely, but a few fish were being caught.

There wasn't much breeze at all on Saturday though, so the water was fairly still at times which doesn't help much. If you have more breeze on Tuesday then you'll stand a better chance.

Good luck.

Toft was the spot the four people that i fished with caught at on the 13th of this month. One of those in the group fished it yesterday and said it was still Toft though not as many fish. Orange blobs and a zonker did it for me on an int line. Buzzers worked with the others on a floating line in the afternoon. Best of luck im hoping to fish ther this sunday and booked in for the 4th of Oct. Its a fantastic water.

Fished Draycote for the first time today. Had not booked a boat, and all were taken. Was advised by Keith that Toft had gone off a little, so spent most of the time wading at Hensborough, Saddle and Barn banks. Plenty of knocks in the morning, suspect they were reasonable size fish Got a bit more livley in the afternoon, ended up with three all on Diawl Bachs, one had a tail like a paddle, great fight.

Most other anglers seemed to be fishing black / red buzzers with varied success. Great water, will go back, but it'll be boat next time.

Looking at the returns in the evening, a lot of fish taken, rod average 3-4
