Hi Paul, I too live not too far from there. Fished there a few times this year I use bread flake and have had some wonderful wildies from the surface closer to the foot bridge into the village. Lots of mistletoe in the trees up by the tea room entrance.
It certainly looks a lovely place. No carp are truly wild, they're not a native British fish, all were introduced somewhen. The carp and bream all seem to be rather small, certainly no record size. I really wish that fishing videos focused on the float and not the angler so that we could see the bites develop. Good luck.
Hi Tony thanks for watching, tried really hard to get a bite on camera just for you but failed. Need to invest some serious lenses. I did catch a couple of great bites on the tip the other day. Local rumour was that the record was poached from Hever lake. Tight lines
Paul I've been feeding these fish for 50 years and they never got any bigger. Pint of Larkins then feed the carp. Did you know the lake held the British Bream record throughout the 70s.... Whoops you said it 😅
@@PaulVicaryfishing the lake is heavily silted up and probably has a poor nitrogen cycle and few nursery areas for many small carp. By the way you can tell true wildies from common carp by doing a scale count from the dorsal to the lateral line.

Hi John, thanks for watching.
It's a lovely place to fish for a couple of hours. May well see you done there sometime.

What a lovely lake it is, I really should fish it more often, supposed to be some big Perch there as well.

I member catching them that size when I was a lad. Makes me wonder how long carp live?
Don't think they manage to spawn successfully very often.

Was it a Red Kite?
I reckon it was a buzzard.
