30 plus Crucian carp  in 1.5 hours		1lb 6oz roach

Fishing At Warren Park
I concentrated my efforts on the front lake fishing directly outside my lodge. 
I started off fishing with a 13ft waggler rod with a centre pin loaded with 2.5 lb b.s. line.
 My terminal tackle was a pole float holding three number 6 shot down the line with a size 12 hook
baited with a paste made from Richworth multiplex mix with corn steep liqueur. The feed was
 a couple of pints of trout pellets that had been shaken in a plastic bag with corn steep liqueur 
and left for a few hours so that the flavor had been absorbed on the pellets.

Part of the second day catch		A double figure carp

I started off by baiting a swim about 13ft from the bank in about 4ft of water before casting my
 pole tackle on running gear into the swim. I did not have to wait long before I hooked into my
first fish that turned out to be a mirror carp of about 7.5 lb. This was followed by another 
two similar sized carp before the crucians started to feed. As I expected, the crucians gave very
 shy bites that were hard to detect but as the session progressed I got used to them and was catching a 
crucian on most casts. I placed the crucians I caught in my carp landing net for 1.5 hours and was 
surprised to find that I had had over 30 of them. I photographed these and returned them. 
I continued to fish on, catching crucians with the odd roach to 1.lb 6oz for the next 4 hours.
 The best crucian was weighed at 2lb. 6oz.
 and my bag was estimated at over 150.lb.
 The following day I fished on using the same tactics to make a similar catch. 
However I did manage a nice double figured mirror carp in with the bag.
 The next day I decided to fish with the same tackle but set the float shallow.
 I fed heavily with pellets and started to catch nice roach, many of them were 
pushing the pound with the best at 1.lb 4oz. I also had crucians and ordinary carp in the catch.

The last day I fished with floating crust and caught mainly large single-figured carp. 
It was very pleasing but very tiring as I spent most of my time playing fish! 
Unfortunately few of the fish were double figured but there were clearly bigger fish present.

"There is no doubt that Warren Park is a top class fishing venue and 
a real bag-up water. The accommodation was also good, making it the 
ideal place for fishing holiday. You can even have your breakfast in the swim by your lodge!"
