You could try Fontburn. My dad has a season ticket, and fishes there quite often.

In terms of fishing, you have 2 main options:

Float fishing

Bubble float half filled with water, with a split shot above, and a quick release swivel below.  To the quick release, you can add approx 2 1/2 ft of nylon - about 6lb breaking strain and a size 10 hook.  The split shot above the float can then be moved to allow the bait to fish from 2 1/2 ft to maybe 8ft depending on the length of rod/ability of caster.  Bait can be worm, power bait or even sweetcorn and maggots I think.

Ledgering

Same set up as above, but replacing the float with a 1/2 - 1 oz bomb.  It is worth using floating powerbait balls to get the bait up off the bottom and visible to the trout.  I know my dad has some polystyrene balls that he threads up the hook with a split shot to stop them running up the line too far.  He then baits with worm and this then floats up off the bottom with good success.

Hope this helps
