wayne

Pegs 1-10, fish the btm of shelf at 3-4mtrs in front of u , keep feeding and they will come,i have won 3x from these pegs dont ignore margins. Pegs 15-16 fish island at 14mtr very good pegs, pegs 17/24 in the bowl fish the same as early pegs but a little further out also margins, peg 25 speaks for itself (you will see what i mean) 26/35 much the same as the rest , all open pegs fish well up in the water, with bigger fish in margins later. Bait wise, pellet and paste are the norm, corn, caster, maggot, hemp and catmeat score well,take plenty with you. Good luck

thanks for that chip and for taking the time to reply,ive took all that on board and will let you no how i go on thus weekend..thnks again mate

chip im fishing decoy lakes on june 11th all ov the strip type lakes any advice would be apreciated . thanks josh

I want to start course fishing. I am a complete novice. Is it wise to start at a place like Decoy Lakes Whittlesey. If so, which of the lakes ? Any advice would be appreciated.
I see fishing is also permitted at Ferry Meadows Peterborough- is that a better starting place.

Hi Roy
I think thats a good place to start fishing
try one of the smaller ponds,horse shoe or 5 ilands you will have a good days there plenty off fish.
As for ferry meadows not bin there sorry

hi i am visiting decoy on the 10th March for a match on the strip? i have seen comments on this site but can someone give me more indepth info

hi
First I like to say thanks for a very enjoyable weekend fishing we
{Donfield Taven fishing club} fished Six Islands & Lous Lake and have booked for next year. What I wise to know is information on the rules some say. {you can} use method feededs {KORUM} flat bottem as you sell them in you shop. but not the triangle type ie` makes a ball. you can use Bread a long as its below the surface of water. ie`6ins. as we did not weight in one member for using one of the above {Bread,methed feeder} it ended the day with half members debateing and argue this spoiled the week end for some members
Please send reply by email so that I can print of copys to hand out to our members so next year ALL members have a copy
thank you

£3 fir children under 15 £6 for aove 16

I'm hoping to come and fish the lake soon I'm looking for carp fishing, hoe how will I know which lakes have which stock, is it sign posted? Thanks for any help

Hi, Ive got a match coming up at Decoy on Oak lake, I have never fished at Decoy before, so hoping someone can give me some advice on best tactics and baits etc... Clearly I won't know which peg until the day, match is at end of Sep. I am generally using pole, but do have feeder and float rods too. Any advice is appreciated and will give me a little more confidence, hate turning up to new places completely blind.
Thanks.

Hi All.
I am thinking of going to Decoy as it's recommended as a great carp lake. I'll have 2 lads with me 8 + 10. Does anyone recommend any particular bait/method/etc? We went to Drayton reservior recently and although the place was rammed with people (You couldn't park), no one was catching anything despite it being one of the best supposed carp lakes in the UK.
It will be mid October when we go so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Simon

decoy is brilliant,on all lakes. but if you want to bag, go to alders farm, great brickhill, milton keynes.
