Hi fished it once and had seven rainbows in a day, caught on both black buzzers and pheasant tail nymphs sizes 16 and 12. Used slow sinking line 3lb tippet.
Fished on the road side near the carpark.

Normally fish the carp lakes, but the biggest carp i saw was on the trout lake, a good 30lb and feeding right in the edge (ssoooo catchable)

So my next suggestion would be a bread fly with 12lb tippet:ohmy:

Hiya, I went to Colwick twice in one summer about 3 years ago, the algae was so thick, the flies were lying on top of it..:(...but the chap in the "shed" will certainly keep you right..he was a fountain of knowledge for me..:):)

Good luck..
