The swims

Most of the swims are worth fishing at some time or another but some are obviously more productive than others. Starting at the shallow end and going clockwise:

Swamp swims
The shallow, silty and weedy end is a known fish holding and feeding area, however bankside activity pushes the fish into the snags opposite where they will often feed anyway. A heavily fished area but chocked with weed by summertime.

Bar end swim
The end of the bar itself is not a good area but the bush on the left is a hotspot.

High bank swims
Not seen many fish out from these swims and as they are 'social' swims I haven't fished them yet. They have deep margins but the fish are spooked by people walking on the path above.

Alex/longchuck swim
This is little fished but the margins are deep and a good spot. Alex caught six in a day from here with the lefthand bush being the best area. Also the righthand side is worth a long cast to the small island as long as nobody is fishing there.

Birdcage
Impossible to overhead cast but the proximity to the Alex swim and the lack of pressure could make this worth a try.

End swim
Huge swim which will accomodate about 3 people!

Cave swim
Almost unfished but an excellent swim, the only problem is the difficulty landing a fish here due to lack of space and the fact that playing a fish out will write off the swim for a while.

Compass (point)
The most heavily fished swim, can be very good when they are feeding in the silt. Righthand bush good for takes but fish often run into the cave area after hooking. Good swim for intercepting fish cruising across the shallow gravelly area to the right.

Corner swim
The corner is a good fish holding area, very weedy but the clear areas produce, especially near the base of the gravel hump.

Island swim and surrounding swims
Another very heavily fished area though often produces. The island and its surrounding pads often hold fish.

Small bay
The mouth of the small bay produces but only if there is nobody walking about. Fish move into the little bay but you cannot fish it. If the water level falls in summer this area becomes too shallow for the fish to swim in.

Lazy beach
Often fished but seen very few carp come out here.

Little spit swim
The area in front is gravelly and very shallow but between the swim and the gravel hump is a slighlty deeper channel which the carp use to swim in and out of the shallow end snags, need to be stealthy though!
