What tactics work well?
Carp caught with a hair rigged corn, boillie, pellet, and meat have all been successful at this site in the past. In Pool 1, float fishing with pellets, maize, worms, bread, maggots, casters, and pastes have all been successful at this location.
It is possible to fish on the little islands in each pool, but the fish in Pools 2 and 3 do wander around, so you should not ignore the edges. The boilie, the solid bag, and the zig are all effective tactics for fishing runs and specimen waters.
