Brief details of your catches
We very much enjoyed our week on Poplars, and managed to both break our Personal Bests. We averaged a fish a day, with only one carp caught under 20lbs all fish caught were in excellent condition. Advice I would give to any of your future clients is to keep it simple and listen to excellent advice provided by Tony.\r\n \r\n\r\n
What did you find were the best tactics/baits?
From talking to Tony (The Bayliff) & Paul Selman, I got the impression that it is not an easy water to fish and was predominately a night water. We didn't fish nights, and really didn't fish the water hard at all. We usually started fishing between 10am-11am and fished through till about 11pm.
Were the facilities what you expected?
The accomodation was certainly acceptable for our party, with all the mod cons you could want.
