Bill's Lake 5

Lake Tips

Bill’s Top Tip ………. PATIENCE.

We see many anglers making it very hard for themselves. Leaving your rods out on the spots for a day can be the difference between catching and blanking.
Have a go at spodding and spombing on this lake.  The fish love the Dinner Bell. Zigs and bright coloured hook baits can also do the Biz !

French Carp Lakes

Below is a list of tackle that we recommend you use when at Bill's Lakes to give you the best chance of catching and landing big French carp.

  • Rods - 2.5lb to 3.5lb test curve rods.
  • Line - 15lbs line mono, No braided main line. Make sure your spools are full up!
  • End Tackle - 2-4oz leads, size 2/4/6/8/ hooks (strong pattern e.g FOX XS/ Nash Fang ES).
  • Marker Rod - Make sure you know what your fishing over.
  • Safety Weigh Sling - Nash/Trakker etc.
  • Weigh Tripod - (Daiwa/Cygnet) We supply these f.o.c on the double swims on Bill's Lake 1.
  • Proper Scales - Rubens Heatons.
