Henfold Lakes Leisure News
News Briefs Sent in by Customers (Send "NEWS" to us and we will publish the best bits) Well, I got to Bury Hill Lakes at 7.30am yesterday (Sunday) and found that it was swarming with people dressed in camo green. I thought it was an army exercise! It was mental, so I decided to go to Henfold Lakes about 3 miles down the road as I wanted a less busy area to try out my fishing. It seemed a lot quieter, which suited me. I followed the advice I had read on the forum and plumbed my chosen swim and adjusted my float. I was fishing light 4lb main and 2.5 hooklength. The only problem was groundbait is banned there so I was just fishing with my red maggots, sweetcorn and bread. It was quite a while before I got any bites, I missed a couple, but in the end caught three roach and 1 crucian carp about a pound. No photos, but I am going to return this week so hope that I catch again and I'll take the camera. Anyway, it WAS everything I hoped for these fish really fight on light tackle, a real bend in my rod I loved it! Rob

Plenty of bream mate , again not massive sizes though . Check with them with regards to bait bans as they used to be quite restrictive (no boilies/groundbait) but this may have changed . I think they may have relaxed the groundbait rule . Take plenty of corn . red and yellow ,lots of worms and some small swimstim green pellets . If the carp/bream aren't playing nicely go to lake 4 and cross the bridge to the swim that lets you fish the big bay and have a crack at the crucians and perch . Oh yeah , for the carp/bream use pva stocking with corn/ pellets . Just remember to dust it off in groundbait so it doesn't melt your pva! Sarto
