TACTICS: On Wagtail, leger hair-rigged large pellets, boilies or corn for the larger carp. Bream to feeder or pole tactics with pellet hook baits. Excellent roach to hemp and tares. On the other lakes, mixed catches, including carp, fall to float fished soft pellet, bits of meat, corn, chopped worm, or paste.
