Have fished Coppice regularly for the last four years, and up to this season have seen the carp fishing improve each year. The average size of the fish was also increasing, nicely as well. Have fished it five times this season and have struggled on four of the five visits. Incidently the good day when I had five fish, was wet and windy. The fish are still there in large numbers, as can be seen on hot days. I think this year, with the extra numbers on the bank, the fishery has been hammered. Consequently more bait has gone in, the fish have not been so hungry, and have become more wary of rigs, and baits. This year has been a weird one. Hopefully next year things will improve.
