Roman Lake - Furnace Lakes

[Norfolkdan]

Has anyone ever fished Roman Lake on the Furnace Lakes complex? Looking at it, it looks great and reports are good..but are they true??

 

"although even in hot weather anglers who fish early morning can catch a dozen 20lbs fish before the sun becomes hot."

 

Surely not...???

 

Any help appreciated. Thanks, Dan

Myself and a friend spent 48hrs on it in the middle of May. We both blanked. Only one fish was caught whilst we were there, but a mid 30 had come out just before we arrived.

I think the stock is good (some big cats as well), but it gets a lot of pressure. There were at least 8 anglers there all the time we were there which was midday wednesday to midday friday.

To be fair we had a sharp drop in temp. the first night we were there and an over night frost!!

Followed by a very strong cold easterly wind, i think that pretty much killed it.

I dont think it's a "runs" water by any means, but i will be going back as it's a nice lake, it's clean and well run.

 

Cheers
