Tactics: Float fishing tends to score well at this easily accessible fishery where the carp tend to hover about at various depths. Bits of luncheon meat, small boilies or various kinds and sizes of pellets all produce carp at different times.
Smaller baits like maggot or caster can also catch carp. It can also well be worth trying a straight ledger rig with a couple of grains of sweetcorn or even a paste mix. Good Swims: A simple rule of thumb is to fish the shallow swims in summer and the deeper ones in the colder weather. Even if it goes colder the deeper water pegs can produce some useful sized carp. |
