Word to the wise… I was at farlows last week and there were so many rats in my swim (12) of lake 2 that we had to move at first light… other areas not so bad. Cracking fish, very commercial, watch out for the power cables. I put a pva bag over one

Sorry for bringing up an old thread. Me and a couple of mates are heading down to bluebell on Thursday just wondering if any of you have fished it recently? Is it still stupidly busy? It’s just we are travelling 100miles to get there.

I’ve been on Swan for 3 3 night sessions and not seen a single rat I had heard it was bad before lockdown but seemed rat free on all different swims.

It's not an sssi....unless there's been a recent status attached for the presevation of land regularly populated by purple Argos tents..... .......owner always had dogs and its a dog friendly site so presume that's why no poison or traps...

Grim. I think I’m right in saying that if it’s SSSI (don’t know if it is or not btw) then they can’t out down poison or traps.

I imagine its more the bait they're on rather than food/litter

I dread to think the amount of bait that gets dropped when spodding

Only been 3 times, soon as its dusk....never seen so many rats, it truly is rat city, not like the complex is strewn with litter either, but I've never fished anywhere that bad for rats.

Surely you have had the Rat problem? The Rats at Bluebell are legendary, always have been.....loads of them and they are huge....

Just shows how people's experiences differ, never had one of those problems stated a couple of posts ago, been there a handful of times in recent years as well.
