Fishing Tips & Insights
Tight to the bank: Pellet, caster, or maggot for big F1s and Carp
Down the middle: Maggots attract large F1s throughout the day
Short fishing: Target Carp halfway down the near slope (approx. 3ft deep)
Shallow fishing in summer: Maggots or casters in the middle produce strong catches
Spey Canal runs parallel to Marsh Lake, making it a great choice for larger clubs that want to book both waters and keep an eye on the competition.
