We used to fish it when it was lechlade angling before it was harvested to stock lynch hill. I was reliably told original stock was 4500 fingerling carp when the BAA had it. Amy angling ( ARC's fishery division )netted it and moved hundreds to Lynch which became their home base. We had some great times there before the carp society took it over. No more than about a dozen fishing it at a weekend then the CS filled it with anglers and we left. We found ourselves chased by the hoards on the fisheries around stanton Harcourt being pegged like match fisheries.
It is a cracking venue, fished it twice a number of years ago, the silkweed can cause issues as it's mega clingy but it can be worked around, stunning place with some stunning fish. Great video again looking forward to the next one 👍
Another crackin watch mate time im the great put doors is always good for the body and soul, as they say a bad day on the bank beats a good day at work hamds down 👌
I've been there a few times and it is indeed a lovely place. I had a few tough days there in May, but looking at at it again here I might book the ferry and have a go in September 😁.
Great stuff love horseshoe lake some amazing carp in there. That pinch of corn you put out you know with current like that it wouldnt of gone anywhere near your rig would of gone on the way down. Freeze in into balls much easier and more accurate.
@@TheFishingBloggers well thats amazing especially with current like that im not sure how you managed to make 10pcs of corn sit perfect round your rig but happy days 🙌
@@judderzm2252 the intention is for them to drop into the low lying weed in an area around the rig, so they were perfectly placed for the situation. I don’t want the bait sat in a pile. There was minimal water movement in 3/4ft of water
Yes it is, i absolutely love it! Made a huge difference to my speed and organisation! Very well thought out design, much better than the Nash one I had a few years ago!
@TheFishingBloggers nice, I will buy one myself, getting a little older and the struggle is real lol. I want to get to my swim with ease to focus on my fishing quicker. Have you found the power to be enough for where you have fished?
@@craigbowley2312 I travel as light as possible, but the barrow has allowed me to take a few more extras like the 20L cool box on the front. The side access has made a huge difference too as I can keep the barrow fully loaded and fish off it and still access all the kit. It’s got loads of power, the only thing I find tricky is getting the right speed on the trigger to match my walk.
@TheFishingBloggers sounds absolutely perfect. It does look so well made and save alot of effort being able to fish off the barrow. Thanks for the feedback, definitely getting one on order.
Why tho you didn't sell the lake very well. What's init? What's the average size? What's the average catch rate ? How much to fish it ? If you think this is the best lake in the country explain why don't just show us your trip out blanking and your new gear 😂
@@aarandavidson6086 because I’ve already explain the above in the previous video as said in this video. I also said in my opinion it was my favourite venue currently, therefore the best lake in the country for me! I upload weekly videos that follow on from the previous week…
Beautiful venue but the sheer amount of weed at Horseshoe is unbelievable! It’s difficult to present a bait well in any swim! Not to mention the bird life…
Never had a problem presenting, there’s low level silk weed all over but a longer hook length and a pop up or a solid bag is all you need. I’ve caught on bottom baits with mesh sticks on my first trip, worked a treat
Another great watch as always. Love to see your passion and enthusiasm for the sport. Keep the content coming.
Thank you! Got to love what you do 👍
Awsome video Shaun... 🎣
I look forward to Tuesday's now thanks for your excellent videos 😊
Thanks for watching, be lucky 👍

Yea it’s changed over the years, like everywhere does! My dad caught his first double from Horseshoe early 80s.
Quality watch as always same ere just got back from day session & blanked 😮 onto the next adventure tightlines look forward to the next video 🎣 👊 🍻🍻🍻
It’s tricky when it’s warm and muggy!
It is a cracking venue, fished it twice a number of years ago, the silkweed can cause issues as it's mega clingy but it can be worked around, stunning place with some stunning fish.
Great video again looking forward to the next one 👍
Thank you, next weeks video is a bit different 😉
Good video Shaun Horseshoe can be temperamental sometimes but the fish are good lookers 👍🏻🎣🐳
Thank you, it’s seems to be a bit up and down!
Another crackin watch mate time im the great put doors is always good for the body and soul, as they say a bad day on the bank beats a good day at work hamds down 👌
It’s always great to get outdoors!
looks like a lovely place. Great video as always 👍
It’s a fantastic venue!

It’s such a nice clean and tidy venue, everyone I’ve met has been friendly. Far from your typical day ticket expectation!
@@TheFishingBloggers and even when it's busy, there's still loads of room
@@billcollins6705 plenty of space 👌
Awesome Shaun get a slab on the bank👍😉
👍👍
Your right mega water I haven't been back since about 94 ish I had some big fish to just over 30 right out the edge on float fished worm
Float fishing would have been perfect in that corner, definitely missed a trick there!
@TheFishingBloggers get dome lob worms and trout pellets I'm sure it's the same as it was back in day
@@daveNewk caught with chop worm the first session there!
@TheFishingBloggers nobody uses God old fashioned trout pellets anymore for me they are by far the best pellets you can get
Great video
Thanks you 🙏
Another brilliant video. Shaun where did you get the bait bucket clips for your barrow?
Shannon? 😂
@@TheFishingBloggers Shaun. 🤣
@@stumpyfishermen6991 bucket clips come with the barrow

I could see the hook-bait and free offerings on the bottom with the polaroids, it all dropped into place perfectly 👌

Can i just ask what size cooler box is that. Thanks
It’s the 20L
You should try a brother cider , so much better than a thatchers cider 😋
I do like a brothers now and then 👍
Was that the new fox transporter power barrow I seen there? How are you getting on with it? Is it powerful?

Uh that cool box looks really good…..how many liters is that?
20L it’s MEGA!
Am I watching cliff fox here or he taking piss guys. He sounds almost just like him
I’m not the founder of Fox sadly….
@@TheFishingBloggers you do sound like him even with the the wording it’s what he would say if I shut my eyes I would think it was him 😆
@@Narlaprince first time I’ve been told that 😂
What I do like is your organised everything set in place. We never see you eat much? Are you food shy m8🤔 anyways good blog as usual
It’s not a food blog mate 😂😂😂
Don’t need food when on the apples 😂and I seen that in the video 👌🏻
@@robsfishingadventures 😂😂
Nothing wrong with a liquid lunch 😂😂😂😂 good watch as usual 👆
@@danhunt4520 thanks mate 👍
Unfortunately the curse of the new gear came for ya 🤣
Always the way!
Do you just have the membership and pay by the hour bud?
Yes mate
Sad
Cheer up 😊
What a load crap beat carp lake in the country n u didn't even catch don't be click baited into watching this what a joke 😂
It’s my opinion.

Sorry but its far from decent at horseshoe!! Just another lake full of moids with couple scaley originals left.
It’s a personal opinion, as said in the intro
What are these moids you speak of?
