One of Clint Elliot’s professional team of staff, Ben, clearly has a sense of humour as he advises anglers to go for silver-skinned pickled onions over on Sycamore (22 pegs) during the month of December as apparently the carp love ’em! Try groundbait feeder to the islands with 2 or 3 maggots on the hook […]

Python holds 37 pegs with an island running through the centre of the lake, and while carp will always be on the scene, there is some terrific silver fish sport to be had. Chopped worms and casters cupped in at just five metres, for big roach, or go long for tench and crucians. Feed tight […]

Graham, along with ‘The Shrew’ Pete Rice, run the on-site tackle barn (tel: 01926 842188) and know the time of day, so their advice is always worth listening to and following. Bottom Pool (29 pegs) is sheltered and fishes much better at this time of the year, with doubles in the form of carp, plus […]

Bridge Pool (80 pegs) requires plenty of chopped worm and caster for some very big perch to over 3lb, and they can be caught on the pole where baits can be held steady, or on the waggler where baits can be allowed to move on the tow and tease those big stripeys. Trust me on […]

Feed Moorlands own brand of pellets in conjunction with two pints of maggots, whites with the odd red, on either pole or waggler […]
