Yes for me Leo
have still to speak to Bill at Lodge Farm later this week to confirm we can have the full lake. If correct and bearing in mind the shape of the lake, pegs 32 to 50 left out to avoid casting issues. Pegging taken from a previous knock up match last year on Thistle will be as follows which worked well.
section 1 = 33,35,37,39,40
section 2 = 41,43,45,47 & 49.
UPDATE
speaking to Lodge we get the whole lake for 12 anglers and we have 2 extras available so list is update.
Thistle lake is a Triangle wiht an aerator in the middle opposite peg 36. it has 20 pegs 32 to 52 with pegs 32 to 38 on Sand Martin bank. 39 to 42 on top field end and 43 to 52 on the curve back towards cafe.
Casting across people can be an issue and in order to avoid this pegging ( and respect) is critical.
Pegs 32, 52 and 51 normally get left out as in the main angle.
following pegging options are to choose from
A 33,35,37,39,40,41,43,45,47,48,50,& 52 used previously on a knock up last year
B 33,34,35,36,38,40,41,44,45,46,48 & 50
C 33,35,36,37,39,40,41,44,46,47,49 & 50
D 33,35,37,39,40,41,43,45,46,48,49 & 50
E 34,35,37,38, 40,41,43,45,46,48,50 & 52
Please select an option and let me know, thanks
