So all of you 'pellet heads', form an orderly queue, this is a real pellet water, the carp love them. Most of the lakes contain a big head of roach and rudd, so this is a real big bait venue, with corn, meat, paste, banded pellet, chum mixer or worm all being successful on the right day. Hemp and pellet make an excellent feed, balling in groundbait doesn't normally work, but the 'method feeder' can be deadly sometimes.
Favourite methods are pole, running line down the edge or method feeder.
As in so many still waters, the secret to catching fish is to fish with a warm wind in to your face, and to keep feeding. There's no need to feed vast amounts, but you must keep some feed going in to the swim all of the time, even if you're not catching anything. The biggest mistake that the occasional fisherman makes is that he doesn't feed often enough. O.K., here's how you can make the catch of a lifetime pleasure fishing at Willinghurst. Check the favourite pegs page to find the best areas, and pick a good area where you've got a bit of room, and where there are NO keepnets in the water nearby.
