Rules: Open from 8am until 6pm Tackle for catfish fishing: Trying to move a 90lb deadweight usually has only one result a snapped line and a quality fish with a hook in its mouth until it can disgorge it itself. As a result, it pays to be patient when playing these fish if you want to get it onto the bank. Whilst anglers fishing for the carp can usually get away with using 15lb line, it is best to use minimum line strength of 20lbs when going for the catfish. Those targeting them should also head for the deeper water in the centre of the lake, and again they should once again go equipped with suitable tackle, a 50 inch landing net, a Cat mat and a sling. Advice for plantation lake: As is to be expected for a water of this quality, anglers should also go equipped with suitable tackle, including a large landing net (minimum 42 inch) and a good quality unhooking mat.
