The stock at Farlows Lake One is impressive, an estimated 35 fish over 30lb with several going over 40lb along with a huge stock of back up 20’s. Along with the original stock there are a selected number of fish added every year to ensure the fisheries future.

In the warmer months, the standard fishmeal boilie approach works well, as do floaters. The surface fishing can be absolutely epic at times, so don’t forget the mixers. Look in the small, neglected corners and bays because many anglers overlook these.

As the cold sets in, try using more natural baits such as maggots and crumb and solid PVA bags, complete with bright hook bait over the top. The fish like to move out into open water so keep your eyes peeled for fish.
