We say...

If you're daunted by the size of Mallard Lake on this complex, then Bluebell Lake has a similar stocking density in a much smaller package.

It's also the most varied lake on the venue, with plenty of tench and bream present, though it's the carp that most people come here for. On a warm summer's day these carp can be readily seen on the surface and it's a great water for stalking and floater fishing.

In fact, we reckon this water is best approached with short-range, mobile tactics, especially at either ends of the lake.

A 20-pounder is a distinct possibility, though continued stocking means there are plenty of smaller younger fish coming through. There are also a fair few thirties present.

If you set up in the middle of the lake, which is relatively narrow, remember to be aware of anglers' lines on the opposing bank.
