Although strong tackle should be used, as a take will usually end up with the fish bolting for the small channel which separates the two islands.", "With two islands to your right, a small island out in front and the back of the plateux further out on the left, this is a commanding swim which accounts for a lot of fish.","Like Kent 1, Kent 2 is a well laid out swim which commands a good amount of water.","Guvnors is a good swim for intercepting carp as they move in and out of the deeper area of lake. It produces a number of fish throughout the year. Climb the tree and watch them as they patrol.","Deep Bay is usually a good bet for a run or two. A secluded swim under the cover of large trees. Carp can usually be spotted basking under the bushes on the far bank. Climbing the tree in Guvnors gives a good view of the area.","Andys, although very weedy in the summer, is a good fish holding swim. If you can find the clear spots then you have a good chance of a couple of runs, especially around the small island out in front. But don't forget the margins.","The bars offers lots of features to fish to, as its name suggests there are a few gravel bars which can easily be spotted when the water level is lower in the summer (or you could climb the large tree next door!). The large patch of lilly pads is a great fish holding spot, as is the right hand marginal bushes and reeds.","As its name suggests The Platuex holds a large Plateux. Lots of features to fish to in this swim. Baits in the right spot will usually produce a take.","The lawns are another commanding swim with lots of features to fish to. The island with its lilly pads is a carp patrol route usually giving some action. A plumb around with a marker float will show varying depths and features which are also good for producing runs.","The Reeds is a relatively unfished swim. But it does provide for some good fishing. The margins along the opposite bank are usually a good bet as is the gravel bar which runs through the middle of the swim.","Being the first (or the last) swim on the lake this can be a productive area, especially during the summer months.","Much the same as Car Park 1 although slightly wider across the swim.","Lots of 'Carpy' features in this swim. A good interception point as the fish swim into and out of the shallows.","","",""];
