The Oaks Fishery, Sessay

It seems this fishery is going from strength to strength, with sport on all lakes seeming to be improving year on year. On Cedar Lake, there are loads of carp to be caught on pellet and maggot, with presenting bait to the far bank, or at around 12 metres shallow, or on the bottom in colder weather, the best ways to tempt the resident F1s and stockies. Paste is also worth a try, both at the bottom of the far shelf, and down the margins.

On Maple Lake, fishing to the far bank cover is similarly effective, with meat seeming to be the bait of choice on here. Down the track can also be productive for the lunkers. Again, the margins are worth a try on here and it is sometimes possible to tempt the odd bigger fish off this line.

Alders Lake fishes well to long pole shallow with caster or maggot, with this method proving effective for the ide and chub. Pellet and paste is also worth a try for the lakes carp, some of which run to over 10lb!

Poplars Lake is best fished with pellets, meat and hemp to get amongst the lake's carp. Chopped worm is also worth a try, especially up to the islands where the bigger fish tend to lurk.
