Comment: i was wondering which lake would be best for just starting up carp fishing but i am still an expirienced angler and how much is ticket prices for a day ticket on the blunham age 16 plz get back to me

Comment: best fishery in the area . fishing the carp lake this saturday coming for the first time. can anyone give me some tips ? thanks.

Comment: Fished the Carp Lake for 48hrs. After a slow start things started to get better. I first landed an 18 lb 4 oz common in open water on a chod rig. The action soon stopped on the open water rod as the fish followed the wind into the bay to my left. I fished big bags of pellet and Tigernut boiles into the entrance of the bay resulting in a 13 lb 4 oz, 20 lb and a 25 lb 2 oz. A nice lake could do with all the fish under 10 lbs removing to create a real specimen lake. Will be back in the future.

Comment: great fishery great staff 30th aug i went fishing on becks on beach i had a 6 lb then i casted my rod out and before i had chance to put the dropper on it was off it weighed in at 15lb then straight after i landed a 14lb both my 2 biggest fish

Comment: We had a Girls V Boys match on Winters lake last weekend , with some of the guys and girls off the carp Forum , Had a great time and 10 fish out over the weekend upto 27lb . Found the fish come in very close but do respond well to bait , so dont be shy putting it in , The Margins are well worth ago as nearly all the fish came out from just under your rod tips , a good fishy boilie or maggots did the job for us :-) using Chod rigs ,normal bottom rigs were getting clogged up with weed so choddies were just the thing , All the fish we had were mint condition and some of the best looking carp ive seen for a while :-) Well worth a trip even for a day session stalking. Certainly will be back for another go . Thanks again to Sue for the prizes and for having us all . Duncan

Comment: congrats with the very nice website. I will be visiting the lake very soon !

Comment: Second visit to manor farm, and it was as much of a disappointment as it was our first. 8 hour of fishing becks and not a bite for either of us. Tried various methods and baits as did the chap in the next swim, who didn't catch either. Even the chap who inspects the tickets commented that it had been quiet all weekend. Sorry to say that this will probably be our last visit to Manor farm, which is a shame as the venue is otherwise good with excellent facilities.

Comment: MANY THANKS FOR A GREAT FISHING DAY.I CAME 2 WEEKS AGO WITH APPROX 20 PEOPLE ROUND THE CARP LAKE.SET UP 9AM AND BY 11AM I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CONDITION 18LBS COMMOM CARP.I HAVENT BEEN TO THE FISHERY FOR MORE THAN 5 YEARS,SO VERY PLEASED WITH THE CARP ESPECIALLY NOT MUCH ELSE CAME OUT THAT DAY.I THOUGHT LONG AND HOW TO FISH THE LAKE,MY NEW METHODS AND MY BAIT I THOUGHT WOULD CATCH.ALL PERFECT.COMING BACK THESE WEEK TO HOPEFULLY HAVE A DECENT DAYS FISHING.QUALITY LAKE AND SET UP.....

Comment: fished the carp lake last weekend caught a lovely 32lb 10oz common.beat my pb by 11 pounds.i fish here quite often its a great fishery shop is great and the staff are freindly and helpfull ...will definitly be back soon!!!!

Comment: Fished the becks lake twice around 5 weeks ago and had 2 very productive sessions and on one of the sessions I had my first manor farm 20lb carp and that was my second 20 which was on a secret boilie along with another 15 or so carp just in one session I was extactic, on my second session after catching the 20lb mirror I had a less productive session with just 8 carp, I saw them spawning but I managed to fish in the reeds to recieve some excellent action, my advice is not to fish miles out but have 2 rods out to intercept any passing fish, I shall be back soon.

Comment: i have fished a night on the carp lake twice now and i have yet to catch during the night, could i ahev some tip, which bait, which swims ect. thanks. Joe

Comment: Two of us fished the Carp Lake over the weekend of the 24th and had approx 30 fish between us, the best of which was 2 X 17lb+, 1 X 18lb+ and 2 X 20lb+ including a lovely 25lb 4oz bronze common caught over a spodded area at around 30 yards. A great weekends fishing on a super complex.

Comment: For all of you that want advice, me and my boys fish the better lakes quite a bit, catching is simple from these lakes,(carp and becks) simple hair rig with a small hook, any bait, 20 yards out ! when the lead hits the water dont pull back or anything or you'll drag it through weed, presentation is the key...i put my life on it you'll slay them :) ps. one more tip : yellow !! thats all ill say !

Comment: Fished the lovely manor farm complex again today, i fished on the becks with my brother and dad, i was fishing for around well 2 seconds and i had my first take, and that resulted in a 6lb Common carp and then as soon as i put the rod back in the water i recieved another take and that resulted in a 8lb carp, and then another 1 and that was a 6lb, the action soon came to a disappointing low, until the end of the session where a change of rig was in order and i had another 2 carp a 9lb Common and to top it all a 10lb Common, after all this action i want to further my PB of 22lb 8oz to a 30lber so i will be back to attempt the carp lake. be back soon.

Comment: Another great days fishing on the Becks Lake - caught 3 carp 7lb, 7.5lb and 9.5lb. The lake was full of carp you could see shoals of them in the water - caught the above on Source Boillies/immitation corn

Comment: Had a good day on the becks last Wednesday, started off spodding particle to the island to kick startthe swim so to speak, had nothing for around 2 hours, but I saw a few people catching numerous carp off the surface, so I used this to my advantage and changed a bottom bait (boilie) to a 4.5ft zig rig, went to grab my spod rod and mix of hemp an groundbait and the zig soon had me playing a 12lb common which looked like a ghostie, but the the session slowed with the weather being around 25+ so all I had to end the session was a 6lb hybrid. Be back soon.

Comment: Had a fly fishing tuition day last year & now hooked on fluff chucking!! The tuition day is superb & great value for money. Peter Hartley made the day very imformative & very enjoyable. Want something different? Then this is it...can't wait for the 1st October!!!

Comment: fished blunham lake 2 sundays ago, 40 minutes before i was due to pack up i pulled out a new pb 24lb mirror carp, good times!

Comment: Fished Damsel lake for the first time on 14th oct. Very enjoyable day. Landed 3 lovely trout all about 2lb each and hooked another half dozen which all came off! Out of practice i guess. Trout were taking size 16 nymphs and buzzers. Looking forward to coming back. Very helpful staff. Cheers.

Fished Becks 3 times now: 1st visit: Day session has 3 carp between 10-14lb 2nd visit: Overnight: 2 carp: 1=13lb 1=9lb and 1 trout on luncheon meat 3rd visit overnight had 4 carp : 2 was 14, 1 was 15 and 1 was 10. Fished the Carp lake once and caught my current PB of 21lb 6oz

Comment: Spent all day Saturday fishing Becks using small PVA bags (hemp & crushed boilies) and boile hook bait and had one line at around 2pm - resulting in my PB of a 15lb Carp an absolute beauty

Comment: I targeted the big Perch here on my most recent visit,fishing the Carp lake in appauling weather and had possibly the best winter session of my life.Before I'd had any stripys I took six carp,the biggest an 18lb common.I then landed more than 20 Perch,including 5 over 2lb and one '3' at 3lb 4oz.An incredible days fishing.Thanks Manor Farm!!

Comment: Went on carp lake few weeks ago fishing the float using maggots and sweetcorn as hookbait and was feeding maggots, pellets and hemp , started off catching small perch but ended up catchin a 2.5lb monster and 7 carp up to 16lb two of which were caught on my carp rod!

Comment: Just called in today to look at the lakes and tackle shop as seen an advert in iycf. i was very impressed with the lakes and made to feel welcome by the staff in the shop who answered all my questions and didn't make me feel uncomfortable as I'm a newbie to fishing.

Comment: The 23rd saw clear water on the fly fishing lake, with 2 degrees. So fishing was very slow, with no fish showing. However my brother in law caught a 2 lb rainbow, but looked to have been in for some time, more luck than skill if you caught on this day. Lets hope the next visit produces a better head of trout.

Comment: Fished the carp lake on Saturday 20th Feb. Only had one run, but will be back soon to try my luck again. If anyone could get back to me about a good bait for the carp lake it would be greatly appreciatedQ!!!
