Try some Cockles or prawn for hook baits,small 8mm crab and mussel boillies  on a short hooklink and fish the method... although you can't beat fishing for tench on the float imo

If your getting bream....then step your hook baits up to 26/28 mm

The problem wi this lake and natural baits is the big shoals of little roach and perch battering anything like that i imagine prawn would go the same way so tend to use banded hard pellets of various types

Waders you'll be lucky if it goes over your ankles My lads just bought some. Said in message ( River Ready) FFS. A told him same. Better off using them going to local shop in the flash floods. f***ing Monday was like a f***ing river. With council not sorting f***ing drains out in town.
