Great video, i went there myself last week and really struggled. What sort of depth do you fish at/would you recommend to fish at for lures? I'm use to the rivers so finding it hard to adapt to the reservoir, cheers.
They can take surface lures. I generally try and fish as close as I can to the bottom without snagging weed. At the end of the day pike can follow the prey fish higher up in the water, so it is best to fish shallower at that time.
Lovely watch and great tips. I’ve still yet to fish this venue.
Thank you, hopefully you will get to fish it soon. It is open until the end of January.
@@patrickyte6281 thank you Patric 👍
Nice factual and relaxing video. A good result given the conditions. Maybe a no. 7/8 outfit a little light for pike.
Thank you. Yes the rod and line is a bit light, I need to try and sort out a decent rod for my heavier lines.

@@patrickyte6281 Cheers Patrick! I’m trying out Sywell next week👍
How much it cost to fish there and how much the boat to hire?
Great video. Do you hire a boat from the permit shed?
Yes. You have to go into the fishing lodge.
@@patrickyte6281 Thanks
Lovely fish & looks like a good place to fish 👍
Yes its a really pleasant and challenging place to fish. Thanks
