DreamLake 2, Peg 16

If the fish have pushed up this end of the lake on a N to NW wind then this peg can be a real winner. It is also a great peg to be in during the colder months as the water here is slightly deeper than at the other end of the lake by at least 1ft.

You have all the tree-line to go at to your left with 4-5ft of depth straight off the end of the branches. You also have the opportunity to fish the open water features with an average depth of 8ft from 40yds out from your bank. You can also try fishing a bait towards the corner if a fish is "crashing" in there on a night. There is 5-6ft depending how close you are going into the corner. There are a lot of largish areas of silt with some gravel spots amongst them at all ranges. Look out for the water being coloured up by feeding/rummaging fish getting stuck into the bottom of the lake!

If the fish are "jammed" towards the tree-line, then I would fish 2 rods really close to the branches, (probably the LHR and the MR) but I would back them off by 5yds on a night to give me time to keep the fish out of the branches. I would also fish "locked up" as the line stretch will indicate a take and encourage the fish to kite out into open water. I also think that the fish will move out slightly as darkness approaches so you do not need to fish hard up to the trees. I don't think they go far though if the wind has been pushing in that direction for a period of time. I would leave the third rod 10yds off the trees with a PVA bag to fish as a lone rod offering a quick "snack" for a fish. When you have got the fish, PILE IT IN AND HOLD THEM!
