This weekend’s 2 day festival has been cancelled due to lack of numbers, so there will be an open as usual on Sunday 1st May. Peg draw 9am, hope to see you there. 🙂

Had a great father’s day, took my son Alex fishing, he was well pleased with this carp he caught on his new pole!

Then we went in for chocolate cake,

and what a cake!!

I hope you all had a good Christmas and wishing you all a good New Year, hope your New Year’s resolution is to come fishing more and catch lots!! (Unlike me, but like these past match winners)

We would like to wish all our customers a happy and healthy New Year and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Heron lake will be closed on Sunday 2nd September for a private match. Keep an eye on the blog page for the results. Fir Tree and Willow Pond are open as usual.

We have started stocking micro coarse fish pellets. 1kg bag £2.95 1/2kg bag £1.95

Fir Tree pond will be closed on Sunday 24th June for a private match. Heron Lake and Willow Pond will be open as usual.

The warm weather has brought the carp to the surface so I just had to go stalking. I tried on Willow pond for one of the Ghosties and had no luck, but I spotted lots of Carp sucking on the Willow seeds that had blown in to Fir Tree pond. I free lined a small piece of crust on a size 6 hook and it wasn’t long before I had a lovely 3.5lb mirror in the net. Forgot how exciting surface fishing is and I’m looking forward to my next go!!

May has seen the arrival of 4 goslings on the fishery. So far all the fisherman’s comments have been positive and they are pleased to see them. On another positive note I think they may help to deter Heron’s and have seen them protecting there young from the crow’s which must be a good thing! They have been no trouble and keep well away from people, which is how we want them to stay, so when visiting the fishery please do not feed them.

We now have 4mm soft hook pellets. There are three flavours to choose from: F1 carp, garlic and halibut. So far I have tried the garlic pellet and they fished well. All are priced at only £2.50 each.
