Again this is a fishery i have visited several times since i started fly fishing(ive been coarse angling for over 40 yrs).Again a very nice fishery with 4 well stocked trout lakes.day tickets are 15 quid (or were) for a 2 fish bag with catch and release afterwards,the ponds are well stocked with rainbows and brownies both of which are not as easy to catch as might seem.there is a brook which can be fished for wild brownies and some escapee rainbows(id recomend a VERY short rod as it is quite overgrown).the one gripe i have with this fishery is the pondside vegatation which is left to grow and the weed in the ponds in the summer months (last time i was there pond 1 and 2 were virtualy unfishable) other than this its not a bad place,the cafe looks a bit suspect but the breakfasts are superb and they make a mean brew
