Top Tips
- Tackle up as light as possible for good bags of Roach and Rudd (1lb hook length to 20 to 22 hooks)
- Red maggot works well, feeding little and regular.
- Use sweetcorn to tempt the larger Roach and Rudd.
- Carp like luncheon meat, crusty bread as well as sweetcorn.
- Try floating crust for Carp during late afternoon when the lake is flat.
- Use hemp to hold the fish in your swim.
Large baits and heavy feeding tempt the bigger fish. Please ensure your fishing tackle is adequate to prevent damaging Carp. A landing net is essential. Barbless hooks are enforced.
