THE FISHERY IS OPEN FROM THURSDAY TO SUNDAY INCLUSIVE MOVING FORWARD INTO THE WARMER SUMMER MONTHS. WE WILL BE CLOSED EVERY WEEK ON MONDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
DUE TO THE RISING TEMPERATURE, THE TROUT WILL NATURALLY BECOME MORE ELUSIVE AND MOVE INTO DEEPER WATER AND FISHING WILL BECOME MORE DIFFICULT. OUR ANGLERS WILL NEED TO HONE THEIR SKILLSET TO CATCH FISH. THEREFORE, WE WOULD ADVISE YOU TO FISH CATCH/RELEASE DURING THESE WARMER MONTHS BUT THE CHOICE IS YOURS. OUR EVENING PERMIT IS A GOOD OPTION TOO - FISHING FROM 5PM-9PM WHEN IT IS COOLER ON AN EVENING RISE AFTER WORK FOR QUALITY DOWNTIME.
FISHING TUITION & SHEPHERDS HUT BOOKINGS ARE STILL AVAILABLE WHILST WE ARE CLOSED. PLEASE EMAIL RICHARD UNDER THE TUITION HEADING (DIRECT LINK) TO BOOK.
Carp are still as plentiful as always at this venue,no water clarity and little or no chance of telling carp and trout apart in the churned up water,it's a shame as there are trout to be caught,this is now a beautiful wedding venue and weekend breaks in the hut.Wish the business invested back into the fishing,but it clearly hasnt,it all looks a bit run down now.Put on a bread fly and catch yourself a nice CARP
Fished here on Nov 23rd my first visit for nearly 20 years. Warm (10 Deg C) , bright with only a gentle breeze West to East. Many fish showing across the lake 3 especially toward the Dam end. Blue Flash Damsel proved to be the fly of the day with fish taking it confidently in the upper 2-3 feet to a constant but gentle retrieve. 2 Rainbows caught 3-13lb & 3-10lb by 10:30 with additionally a number of follows and 1 hook up that played me for 5 mins before getting the better of me. APPS bloodworm and Goldhead Daddies at varying depths drew a few tentative pulls then 4-2lb Rainbow on the BFD again. Finally last fish …

Been amazed at the quality of your hard fighting trout this past year....had some stunning fish including a couple over 6lb and one around the 8lb mark and they really fought like mike Tyson in his prime....I’m gutted the lockdown has prevented me fishing your place at my fave time of year to fish but I had a cracking winters sport if nothing else
