Weekly stocking has already commenced and we open to everyone on Monday 17th March, with forecast conditions looking good with showers, cooler temperatures and some sunny intervals.
The North Lake is currently closed to non-Season Permit holders until 1st May but the sport on the South Lake can be enjoyed by all.
We will be continuing our Loyalty scheme and the monthly Boat Draw in 2025 – if fishing on a day permit please remember to leave your contact number when buying the ticket in case you are a winner! Also, look out for next week’s report where a great offer for boat anglers will be announced!
For those who visit on day and 4-hour tickets there will also be a new way of booking and paying from April, designed for anglers who like to use apps on their phones/tablets/PCs. Using the Catch app you will be able to book and pay in advance, upload catch reports, view the latest fishery updates and more. The app is available to download in the app store relevant to your device. *Not currently available to syncicate/club members.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
