Trolly update: we have repaired all 3 of the blue trolleys and have made the decision to give anglers 1 FINAL chance however we have decided a minimum of £1 per use charge ( cash ) is to be placed into our charity bucket ( SULLIVANS HEROES ) which helps build a future for disabled children.
unfortunately we will refuse you to use them if this small donation isn’t made. If we see ANYBODY miss using these e.g children riding in them jumping on them, anglers over filling you will be stopped and will be told to remove all your equipment and again be refused the chance to use them!.

Unfortunately due to some anglers not having any kind of respect for the trolleys we provide, we have had no option but to remove these, they will no longer be available for your use! We are sorry to all the anglers that do respect our property but we can not keep repairing the trolleys to then find them broken again due to people over loading and allowing them to get into such a state. Please remember to bring your own barrow

**********CHALLANGE 21 ***********
Unfortunately due to too many instances of bookings being made, where a false age has been given we have no other option but to implement the new rule challenge 21.. we will from now 22/07/2026 be asking anyone looking under this age to provide us with identification to be able to fish both the house lake (16+ ) or the specimen lake ( 18+ ) this form of ID needs to be a uk photocard e.g driving licence / provisional, a valid passport or a pass card. Without one of these present we will unfortunately refuse and you will be pointed to one of our other lakes where there is no age restriction.
We hope you understand why this rule is now in place and we apologise if this offends you.

Milton Pools regulars David and his wife Tracy had a cracking session on pegs 1 & 2 on the House Lake at the end of June with Tracy landing herself 9 Carp and 1 baby Kitten, 7 of which were caught using good old fashion maggot.

Her pick of the bunch was a stunning orange and black Koi absolutely gorgeous fish.

Well done to you both and we look forward to seeing you both again soon 🎣.

*BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MARTIN & FAMILY!*

Another monster from this past weekend.

In the early hours of Sunday morning Martin Ryder, who had been fishing all weekend with Milton Pools regular Tom and his family on pegs 4 & 5 on the Specimen Lake to celebrate his birthday, had a screaming run and when he struck into it he had a pretty good idea what it was…a big Catfish!

After playing it for a while it very kindly locked him up in the pads so Martin put the rod back down on his pod and left it a while to see if it swam its way back out and sure enough it did. Once again after a good fight he started to make up ground on it and eventually the beast slipped over the net cord.

And after catching his breath it was time to weigh it and the scales read just over 80lbs! Absolutely monstrous Cat well done that’s one way to remember your birthday weekend and more importantly one hell of a first Catfish 🎣.
