Having visited nothing but lakes stuffed with carp recently (my choice), a lake with no carp at all sounds like a refreshing change.
A lake with the usual roach, rudd, tench and bream would be nice if it suited the current trend. But I would like to see added to that crucians, chub and dare I say barbel.
Then there was that article in the Times about a fishery that stocked rainbows which feed in all weathers. There is a fishery near me that got around the closed season years back by being an 'any method' trout fishery and when we hooked a trout you knew it too.
As long as you have a silvers only lake then put something in there that will be a bonus like the barbel, trout etc.
Just make sure you have the right amount of pegs to keep it competitive for the matches.
