Winterly info needed asap

[Dan]

Just had a look at the place and decided to fish it tomorrow. Any info on swims that have worked in the past, baits, rigs, anything that will give me the edge tomorrow???????
(the older winterly thread doesn't really giv me the info on swims/pegs/bait etc which is why i'm startin this one)

Most consistent swim for me was through the gate, first on the left. As you look across the water there is a channel with snags either side with a snag right down the channel. Fish on the left tip and also far down the channel, you need to be tight though and right on your rods. Did well on slow sinking baits, used to use 10-12mm snowman rigs with no freebies, the fish are usually there and they don't need feeding.

If the snags are taken fish the end near the road and cast across to where the birds are fed, aim at the lamp and the board. The bottom is hard from the birds feeding and not as silty, gets constant supply of food from the bird lovers. Had a few from here using method feeder.

Good luck

Thanks 4 the info. unfortunately i had a busy night last night and didn't see the above thread. I nded up fishing the end swim fishing towards the road swims as i saw a fish there yesderday. Havin said that i did blank having only one good liner (or take - not sure at 120yrds range ). I saw a lot of carp moving in the match lake. anyone know how big they are (average/top weight, etc)??????

re: winterly match lake

as i posted in the earlier thread i had 6 fish outta the match lake at the back when i went down there last year, all of em were around the 10lb mark,
talking to some others on at the time that seems about the average, although there are a few bigger ones aswell, a reported 18lb'er came out the night before i got there so there could be the odd fish around 20

same deal with the snags though, sunken branches all around both islands and apparently not many fish come from open water, you better fish locked up or get on it quick else you'll lose the fish in the snags

btw the 2 islands are really 1 with the trees cleared out from the middle so it can be litteraly inches deep between em

The pool is in the small town of winterly just off the Crewe - Sandbach main road. It can easily be seen from the road through winterly
