CATCH REPORTS TO 4th MARCH

The day ticket lake has now re-opened and the catfish have become very active. Dave Wood fished specifically for them over a 24 hour session, and got five takes. A small cat of 20+ was landed, but four others were lost, all of which were seen, one being a very large fish, probably in the 60-70lbs range, dropped right at the net. Martin Jarvis took a nice brace of carp with a 24.12 common and 26.02 mirror, and other captures were made, although not logged.

Only a couple of anglers on the season ticket water, where Mark Pollard took a 30.04 mirror and an unknown plated mirror of 14.00, obviously a home bred fish.

On the coarse fish pools, Amiees, Dans & Teardrop, five new swims have been completed. These pools are becoming increasingly popular, and have been producing bags to over 60lbs this week, with one angler taking a 20lb bag of silvers in just 3 hours, and Adam Sloman took a roach just under 2lbs from Aimees pool. Advance booking is advised, and please note that we will open the gate at 6am and allow fishing till dusk.

Apologies to those who are still waiting to see the fish photos from the netting of the day ticket lake, but we are still waiting to get them. We only have some taken of the drain down and actual netting. A few are below.

Few will need three guesses who's daft enough to be

swimming in freezing water in the middle of February.

Photos of the fish WILL be published as soon as we get them.
