All four pools are fishing very well at the moment with Open matches being won with 200lb + weights.
There is no need to fish long at the current time with lots of fish being caught on or around a "top-two" line and down the margins later in the session.
In form baits are pellet, paste and corn fished over feeder pellet or expander feeder pellet.
Just a reminder, all feeder pellet (hard or expander) must be purchased from the fishery. All paste must be either Miracle Baits Paste which can be purchased on-site or paste made up from the fishery feed pellet. The paste rule has had to be introduced after it was discovered that some anglers had started using "Green Stim-Swim" ground-bait as paste in such quantities that they were effectively using ground-bait.
