I have been there once since it has re-opened and once just before.
Just before i went it looked pretty bare from all the tree cutting they had done and snag removing etc. But at the end of June i went back again and i have never seen a more picturesque lake... imo
I didn't catch either but my mate had a 25lber lol

Likewise, I hope a few fish will be in Alans net as well... Better give him some of my bait.
Hoping to catch a 30, havn't had one for ages. :)
Theres some great carp in there, including a very special carp that seemed to get in there somehow 
I'll pop up on one of the evenings your there to see you Matt, make sure you take your kettle. I'll also do a bit of pre baiting for you

fished it at the beginning of june and IMo it's the best UK day ticket water I have fished - have done sandy, orchid etc but it knocks the spots off of them.
picturesque, quiet, loads of wildlife and loads of lovely fish.
looking forward to going back soon!

Cemex have also changed the rules
It was fishable on a day ticket from midday to midday
Now its from whatever time you like
Power to the people

am i alone in not wanting to fish it?

I dont think you are Bob.
Can I ask if you fished it when it was a syndicate water?
The reason I ask is that I can understand former syndicate members greviences with the
water being turned into a day ticket.
On the flip side, this is the only chance the majority of carpers in this country will of had, or have,
the chance of fishing such a historic water.
Can I ask also, why you are not wanting to fish it?

I fished it from Sunday evening till Tuesday evening.
Plonked myself down in Bazils swim just for the history of it, as was said before. Its an awesome lake and the recent pictures of it drained down are amazing.
Having said that, i believe the cost will keep a lot of people away, £25 for 24 hours.
I can honestly say i wouldnt rush to go there again, there are other waters i prefer, although i am planning another trip there soon when a certain head baliffs leg will allow him to barrow his gear round the lake lol

I did a few nights on there a couple of months ago and although I only caught a 10lb stockie, the atmosphere is immense. You can just feel the history as you walk round the place, a pleasure to be there. I will be definately going back.

Bloody hell Stevie, it took you a while to make your first post on here, didn't it fella!
Welcome to the crazy farm m8

the history etc doesn;t bother me. I had mates that fished it when basil was in there and they loved it cos it was a truely amazing lake with a truely amazing fish in it.
bazil died and now it is a truly amazing lake. history or not (I couldn't sense it or anything when i was there) - I just love the place as a venue - quiet, picturesque, varied (islands, open water etc) and some nice fish in there...
whatever cemex did to it, they would have been slaughtered by someone for not doing the right thing... and most of them would never have fished there before and have no intention of heading over there now
