Holiday at Kingsmead I would just like to thank all at Kingsmead for our wonderful two weeks at the beginning of August 2009. The scenery was lovely, the people helpful and friendly. And the fishing! The top lake (Woodland) was great for all of those who want "a fish a chuck" with Ide, tench, etc and will be even better when some of the "babies" are taken out. The bigger bottom lake (Valley) is much more of a challenge. You can easily fill a bag with roach, small perch and skimmers but the bigger fish are much more wiley. It took some time to figure out the best ways of catching them but when we did it was brilliant. Surface fishing was a real buzz. The water is so clear it was not easy but my 15 year old never blanked and he fished every day. His biggest carp was 9lb 4oz and was in great condition. I have never seen carp with such small mouths before! It will be interesting to see how Kingsmead's improvements come along over the next few years. The new toilet/shower block in the lower field will be

Review I have to say my stay at the Kingsmead centre was a joy from start to finish! My colleague and I were lucky to have a splendid sunny day when we hit the lakes for a days fishing! The smaller top lake was ideal to start the day with many, many Golden Eide (I think thats how they are spelt!!) almost jumping on the line! After success on the top lake we moved to the larger bottom lake, which we were reliably informed by the helpful lad on site had the bigger, more challenging Carp. We spent the afternoon battling with said fish and pulled out a couple of whoppers!! A thoroughly enjoyable day that we would reccomend to anyone! Submitted By: George Pasparakis
