Details
This good mixed fishery with easy access and parking behind your peg boasts a varied stock and fish of generous proportions. it is well worth spending some time and getting to know this water to reap the rewards.
The complex of 4 ponds is situated well away from any roads so a peaceful days fishing can be enjoyed.
As you drive up along the track you will come to a square stock pond in front off you. This is not currently fish-able.
You will then bare to the left and pass the 2 island pond this currently holds a good head of silver fish and small carp.
If you carry further on you will come to the original pond, this is a mixed species pond with fish to specimen sizes.
Behind the above ponds is what is intended to be a match pond currently only stocked with a small head of Rudd and currently not fish-able.
The club have taken this once day ticket venue on a long term lease for the benefit of our members and have to date spent a considerable amount of time and money on bringing this venue up to an acceptable standard with decent fish stocks.
Work continues to be on going at this venue.

Plans have been in place now for a huge renovation of the original pond and its platforms; however, things are never simple with something you don’t actually own.
The club intends to invest nearly £15,000 on this project, so legal things needed to be put in place first. As everyone knows we only lease this venue so we first had to seek written permission to carry out any of the work planned we then needed to speak to the land agents to get their consent and finally we needed to get changes made to the lease agreement that when the platforms are all replaced, they will remain the property of the club.
The legal side of it has taken several months to achieve but is now complete.
A couple of things have already been carried out 1 being the new drainage pipe to control the water levels and 2 the owner has started filling in some of the holes on the track and will continue to do so as and when he can.
There are no plans to control the lilies at the moment as 3000 small tench have just recently been stocked and need somewhere to hide from the big perch in there.
As for the bulk of the work it was decided it will be carried out through the quieter months when vegetation has died down and all the planned matches are over.
I see someone has already complained about plastic, but all the pegs will be replaced with recycled plastic with a lifetime guarantee, the materials to do this have cost in the region of £12,000.
We are also hoping to replace the entrance gates as well with something a little more user friendly.
When the time comes there will be plenty of work for anyone wanting to volunteer and I will give plenty of notice as to when it is happening.
