Kieth is brilliant even when he has been up all night with one of his cows calfing (sorry Kieth couldnt resist that)
The fish once again were the hardest fighting fish pound for pound Caught my biggest rainbow to date which was a 11lb 4oz and alsmost pulled my arm off
it is one of if not the best water to fish in the UK as agreed by the other 10 anglers thnat ventured up there with me from the Cardiff Reservoir Fly Fishing Club
I paid : £100
Stayed : 4 Days
Caught : a total of 218 excellent trout
Best fly: buzzers
Tactics : bright sunlight & wind sink/intermediate lines

Just a few quick words. What a fantastic fishing experience.we (6 anglers) fished for 3 days on draycote and caught on average 160 fish per day. fish caught all over the water on a variety of flies (buzzers,crunchers,blobs, cats to name a few, on all lines - floater,slow and fast clear intermeadiate, di3 & di5) The staff have to be congratulated on a fantastic experience. we fished the last week of may 2008 and are heading back again this year. Best fish of the 3 days was caught in the last 1/2 hour - a fantastic brown trout of approx 9lb caught on a size 10 cruncher coming down the wall next to the boat harbour.
If you want a great day out then you would not get better value - we travel from Scotland every year and fish Anglian waters, this was our first time on Draycote and it will not

top class fishing,bank fishing at its best and perfect for the lazy fisherman,the road surrounding the reservoir makes access first class.
