Carp have been seen moving in numbers around the inflow between pegs 7 and 8. Several good sized fish have been banked from here!!

Silvers have been taking maggot or caster from most pegs – the fish have been up in the water on the sunnier days even with an Easterly wind scuff across the water!

Most of the Winter maintenance programme is now completed with swims being cleared and some completely rebuilt to provide complete safety for anglers.

The Fishery would like to thank all its customers for their patience during the works!
