🎣 WE’RE BACK OPEN — AND WHAT A START! 🎣

No filter needed just look at the colours on this one 🍊

After being closed for the last couple of months due to water levels, we’re finally back 👊

We originally planned to reopen on the 14th, but we couldn’t wait that long… so we’re now back OPEN! 😎

the fish are already showing themselves, with a few crackers coming out in the first sessions followed by Chris Kightley yesterday having a few more mid/higher 20’s himself with this being the pick of the bunch at 28lb on the nose. Lovely colours and a stunning common.

This was 25lb last out so good to see there putting on the weight lovely 👏

What a carp, and what a way to kick off reopening, can see something big happening here and some big girls are going to be coming out very soon 😜

The fish are clearly in great form, so if you’ve been waiting to get back, now’s the time! Get booked on using the link below ⬇️

Good news everyone—the leak on the carp lake has now been fixed! 🎣💧

Now it's a waiting game while the lake slowly fills back up. Thank you all for your patience and support while we've been getting everything sorted.

On the positive side, while the lake has been closed, we've had the opportunity to spend some time getting the fishery looking its best.

We're currently installing the bases for the new huts, along with carrying out other improvements to make sure everything is looking stunning for when we reopen.

We'll keep you updated on the progress and let everyone know as soon as the water levels are back where they need to be. We can't wait to welcome you all back soon! 🎣

Morning all, abit of a s**t one this morning we’ve got a leak on the outlet on peg 2.

We’ve known about this leak since owning the fishery and tbh it’s been the bane of our lives due to being a hollow lake anyway. stopping water is really some task. We repaired it in January and the lake held fully not a drop was coming out and we had it to the deepest we have ever seen it.

Over the last 2 weeks the pond has been dropping an inch every 24 hours so we have made the decision to close the fishery until we revolve the problem,

If you are booked on to fishery in the next couple weeks please message the page and we will get you rescheduled onto the next available dates.

We do apologise but its not fair on the fish and it’s not fair on you the angler coming here the fish not feeding properly and the odd one coming out here and there.

Thanks for understanding and we will see you all soon!

my little lad was over the moon helping me with this lovely common from the fishery.

These are the memories that last a lifetime, and they're a big part of why we do what we do.
Hopefully this is the first of many together 💙
