Don’t forget, spend over £100 in store before the 31st May and you’ll … Continue reading Fishing Report 4th April

We’ve had a good week here at the fishery with colder conditions offering some excellent sport. Black and green lures with mixed retrieves have been successful but don’t be afraid to try fishing higher up in the water column or even on the surface.

Haywards Farm Lake is fishing well with clear water and many anglers having success fishing buzzers and diawl bachs. Kingfisher Pond has been stocked and children’s lessons (ideally from aged 10 years and over) are £25 for 30 minutes including keeping one fish. Call us to book!
Bright and sunny conditions of late haven’t been ideal for fishing and the overcast days have certainly proven to be more productive.

Evenings after 5pm when it’s cooler have been fishing well and our tagged fish competition continues … Continue reading Fishing Report 4th July
