Tactics
Pellet is without doubt the best bait on West Lake. In the wide half of the lake, look to fish a long pole line with 4mm or 6mm hard fishery pellets. Loosefeed and fish both up-in-the-water and on the deck. If you get lots of line bites then the fish may be shallow, fish between 13m and 15m out. You’ll need a hooklength of around 0.12mm (3lb) or 0.14mm (4lb) to a hollow elastic or solid elastic of around a grade 10. Band the pellets and dot the float tip right down.
