Oakview lake is a superb, tranquil venue

Martin and Shirley are exceptional hosts. Nothing was a problem. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with interesting towns. And the fishing was 1st class.

Came to catch 'big' carp and exceeded my PB. First two days were hot (22.deg.C), caught down the edge 1am, 2am and 8am, then when cooler fished out in bowl. 5 total at 39lb 5oz, 28lb, 26lb 5oz, 26lb and 19lb. Blanked on the baits I had brought with me, bought Oakview Lake baits and started to catch.

Accommodation is absolutely brilliant, the facilities and cleanliness are above and beyond!
