No dead fish evident on Kestrel – maybe because their are less in that lake to lose in the first place!
Some of the vegetation could do with a trim, its was a pain trying to get gear down the paths in some areas – this is a very big site and would benefit from regular maintenance; litter can be a problem, Ive seen plenty left from mainly pleasure anglers when setting up on opens, it would be a couple of hours job each morning just to keep up to that, something I dont think the owner reflects in terms of staff resource.
Back to the fishing, as I previously posted it fished very hard, as many waters are at the moment; final point is to have more than a little sympathy for the chap who finished 3rd as he missed his keepnet with a fish that would have won him the match. Ouch.
