between Dunchurch and Draycote Water on the A426 approx 2miles from road turning.

52.312887, -1.289957‎
+52° 18′ 46.39″, -1° 17′ 23.85″

Put either into google maps or your sat nav.

Silver lake now has F1s which imho has disrupted the venue in so far as you now need to consider them as well as looking to catch a decent bag of barbel or other silvers.

It’s not really a silvers pool anymore…I dare say others will disagree.

Pellet, worm caster, maggot or pinkie if you’re desperate for bites.

You will either feast or famine there’s not much balance.

Cheers for the info.Just one more question ,is the entrance just past the entrance to Draycot sailing club

If you were to drive out of Dunchurch towards Southam then the turning is on your left at the bottom of the hill approx 300m from the end of the 30limit.

toft “silver ” lake has a lot of small ( up to 1lb ) f1s as well as roach . perch skimmers chub and gudgeon , and a lot of barble which are packing on weight finally , now go to about 1lb 🙂

personally , i would target the far bank – approx 10 – 16m away , find 2 feet depth and use that as your starting point , feed with a toss pot using micro pellet and fish a 4mm expander over the top , fish as leght a float as you can get away with , small hooh and light line with light elastic .

if that doesnt work , or you start catching more barble than f1s , switch to meat or worm on the hook.

i have been catching shalow on caster , but its starting to get cooler mow , so will be less effective now .

What sort of winning weights have been coming out , and what have the backing weights been like? are they consistant?
