Trotters
is an excellent lake as it contains a variety of species and being quite wide (approximately
20mtrs. to the island) there's enough room to fish a variety of methods - all of
which work. Whatever peg you sit on, you are able to cast too the island with a
feeder/ straight lead and if conditions are right even a waggler. Apart from
Carp there's a good head of other species to target if it's one of those days
when the Carp refuse to feed. The quality of winter Roach fishing attracts top
anglers from all over the midlands.
