Old Mill Lakes Lincolnshire - Oak Lake (Aug 2020)
Had the unusual privilege of getting away for a weeks' fishing in the UK and also the opportunity to meet up with my good fishing buddies Damo, Mikel and Chiz for some "carp and japes". Lincolnshire was the location - close to Mikel and Chiz, it was mine and Damo's turn to travel 'up norf' and Old Mill Lakes, renown for some big fish in Birch and Willow Lake but we were fishing the fairly new water 'Oak' lake of around 8 acres I would guess and featuring around 40 fish over the 30lb mark, 100+ 20s and the rest mostly doubles. The lake is basically a big square in shape with 7 pegs running across two opposite banks (north and south banks). There's plenty of water to go out and your in no danger of getting in a mess with the chap opposite as he's so far away. Casting to the middle is doable with your best chuck but to be honest you don't need to be fishing out that far. I managed to bank myself a corner peg in the north-west corner with Mik
