required to walk round with
a bucket to select your swim

Bluebell: Bluebell is thought
of as more of an intermediate
lake for beginners although it
holds a few chunks to scraper
40s and a fair few 30s your most
likely to catch doubles and 20s.
A good chance of catching but
still not a runs water it can be
