Don't just take our word for how its fishing...Check out the visitorbook link (above). Some great comments and tips on the lakes from the anglers themselves!

March 7th...Check out Paul LaHey on the Coarse page and his 160lb bag of carp!

Thursday 24th Feb

All the lakes are fishing well. The 2 coarse lakes seem to be responding to either double red maggot about 2 metres out or some sweetcorn in a feeder. (Or both!)

Lots of perch and roach showing with the occasional tench and bream popping up. Carp about 1-2lb coming out on the maggot.

The Quarry lake (Fly) is catching well on hares ear, gold head damsel and olive or red seem to be good colours. Maybe try something white too. It is a bit chop and change (as usual) but get it right and you will do well.

Pike Fever!!

Sunday 6th Feb 2011

There are 4 anglers trying their luck today so far. Yesterday ended on a 14 pike high! The largest was around 15lb and going on 3ft long. I am waiting for pictures to arrive.

Saturday 5th Feb 2011

At last! The lakes are thawed and we have some mild weather! The pike are coming out for fun today. Lots of runs and at least 4 out by 3 different anglers. Photos to follow tomorrow hopefully if they send us them in. Wahoo!

UPDATE on LAKES SUN 30th Jan 10.30am

The Delf has once again frozen solid! All todays bookings were cancelled. If you plan to join us tomorrow please call first. Quarry is frozen too so NO Fly Fishing either, boohoo! Only a couple of pegs available on the large course lake thanks to the ducks and geese!

CAFE & SHOP open as normal!

UPDATE Sunday 23rd Jan 2011

All lakes are fishable and ice free at last.

The Delf lake is open for the next few weeks for ANY METHOD and PIKE FISHING. If you want to come and have a go at these please call us to book. Weekends are getting busy for the AM and Pike so call first for weekend bookings. Midweek is ok but still call first. It is only £10 per angler.

AT LAST!!

Any Method & Pike Fishing 2011 is now happening and although the trout are slow to feed due to about 12 inches of iced water thawing and making them sluggish to feed, the PIKE have been having a ball!!

We have had a 9lb and a 10lb out so far and lads have reported runs on their lines when reeling in trout, watching the pike chase the fish on the hook!

Pike seem to like a bit of mackerel or smelt.

So its all good stuff.

Those trout fishing have hauled a good few home with them favouring prawn and pellet.

Weekdays are steady but weekends are getting busy with bookings for both any method and piking so give us a call to book your peg today!

This is available till the end of February.

Paul Straker has had some nice coarse fish out of the large coarse lake. He was fishing maggot and caster and had 22 roach and even a TENCH which he said is unusual for this time of year. Hopefully it is a good sign of things to come.
