CLOSING TIMES. These times are on the notice board outside the office and are for when the gates are closed, not when you should stop fishing so please allow yourself enough time to pack up etc:
Also another reminder is fishing is from pegs only not from any where else on the venue (no fishing from the back of the half island) Thank you

This month our monthly open matches start again, the first one is
on Saturday 24th April. Dates and details for the rest of the year can be found on our website not the page.

Congratulations to Jim Gray two 43lb cats on consecutive days

From myself and all of the team i would like to thank everybody for putting their rubbish in the bins after they have finished.
I walked round before opening this morning and only found half a
carrier bag of rubbish which is good since i last done it on thursday
last week. Please keep up the good work and thanks again

Now is the time of year that the Ducks, Coots, Moorhens, Geese and even the Frogs have all had their wicked way with each other
and many of them have nests in various places on the fishery some
already have eggs and some have even hatched PLEASE leave them
alone they have enough problems with airbourne predators without human intervention. Also please take extra care not to leave any line on the floor and even if you find some on your peg
when you get there please pick it up.
Lastly if you are surface fishing please take extra care not to hook any birds and do not throw your left over bread into the lake if this
is not adhered to surface fishing will be banned.

As from today our new times will be 7am until 7pm until further notice. Also today matches are now resumed so on certain days
some areas of the lake will be closed (mostly weekends) so please
check in office before you go to your peg.

JUST A FEW REMINDERS FOR YOU.
Fishing is only allowed from the designated
pegs, not between them or from gaps in the reeds /trees etc.
Only 2 rods allowed fished from that peg only fished straight
ahead and not through the next swim. A new gate/fence has
been put up next to peg 1 on the cat lake to stop people walking
/fishing on the far side please leave it that way. All tools, boats and
any other equipment around the fishery are for fishery staff use only. If the areators are on DO NOT turn them off they are for fish
welfare during hot periods, Keepnets are only allowed in matches
or by special permission from me only, You may be asked to leave
if you are found breaking these rules, Any problem with the above
come and see me in the office,

As we all know as of Monday 29th March
night fishing and matches are allowed again.
Our first open match will be on Saturday 24th April, so if you
want to fish just turn up and book in, draw will take place at
8-15am and fish 9am to 3pm, 2 keep nets required, no floating
baits and minimum of 18 inches from hook to float, £17 match
fee which includes peg fee and pool.

Just a little tip for you if your are fishing during the next few days. I fished yesterday on the main lake and had 3 carp of 8lb each 1 of 4lb lost 2 big fish which must of been in double figures and had plenty of quality roach many of them over a 1lb. Fished at 8mtrs, 2ft deep 3 red maggots on a size 16 hook about 2ft from the reeds
feeding a pouch of maggots every 5 mins. Catch rate would have been higher if it wasnt for the very strong wind as presentation was a problem.

Following Boris's speech and an announcement from the Angling Trust yesterday (although not set in stone) it looks like as of March 29th competition fishing and night fishing will be able to resume.
As i said dont jump the gun yet but keep your eye on this page over the next few weeks for any updates.

Finally after a very cold weekend the lakes
have defrosted so all pegs are now available,
might even get a chance to fish myself ?????
(wishful thinking)
