            If you haven’t been before it is about 15/16m to the central flotation boundaries .The profile is a bit canal like and once down the near shelf its mostly flat peaking at a power top two depth of approx 5-6ft.Most pegs have decent enough cover on the inside or even slightly behind your peg for use as margin swims.The pegs are platformed with steepish banks behind making a roller on a bankstick easier than a tripod ,most just ship straight onto the bank top.
            The base of the slope is the most common point of attack using a strung or bulk rig dependant on conditions.Pellet lift and dropped as the shelf levels out often scores with just a few loose fed over the top.Its only top 2 plus one or two sections and feed pellets are fishery supplied .Fair value though and there are two types off, one being a ringers expander equivalent.
            The open lads have their prefered methods which include meat over hemp at about 11m,paste (swimstim popular)on top two and corn fished down the margin.One guy has apparantley being doing well using maggots fed in large quantities.The ide and F1 will feed shallow if conditions are right on caster/maggot but sometimes small silvers can be a nuisance and a switch to banded hard pellet will often isolate the bigger carp which top out at 8-9lb.Average size about 1.5lb but they punch above their weight.No doubt you’ll get plenty of bites but may need to settle on the most prefered method after a quick look about as weather effects the venue very quickly.
            End pegs as ever popular but 1 and 20 better than 10 and 11 if you have a spare peg fish do like the platforms as cover.
