Horcott Lakes are all well established ex gravel pits mainly dug in the 60s,so yes weed is present but the fish love it!
In the summer months when the weed is flourished ,you can see the holes in the beds and fish in them. Also fish margins where the fish patrol ,you’ll be surprised how close they come in.
15lb upwards line is recommended for weed and most anglers don’t seem to have a problem with fishing amongst it.
