"Fishery comprises three lakes. The match lake is stuffed with carp averaging about 3lbs at the moment and pleasure anglers can expect multiple catches with the better fish going to twice that. Loads of roach in there as well. Kingfishers is a small canal type water with a big head of mixed species including barbel and chub, not traditional stillwater fare. Responds to pole or waggler. Lodge Lake is in front of the tea room and holds the best carp which run to double figures, and it is expected to yield a 20 sooner rather than later. There are decent perch as well, with roach, tench, bream, chub and barbel. These latter don't come out that often, but I have had a couple of each so they are there. I am told the lilies will be thinned this year; good news as it is pretty much impossible to keep the bigger carp from forging into them and in summer it is hard to extract them once this has happened. Like a lot of commercials there are a raft of rules which you can check on the website. Mostly sensible although there is a boilie ban. Pellet, corn and meat all work well enough for the bigger species, with maggot, caster, and worm for perch and silvers. Carp will obviously munch these as well. It's very well maintained and attractive, with plenty of wildlife including resident kingfishers, and grass snakes that you can sometimes spot swimming in the lakes. Expect plenty of action even in winter. Good clean loos in the lodge building. The cafe is not open every day, but has a good reputation and although I haven't sampled the fare myself the clientlel always look happy about it. Cracking little fishery popular with local match and pleasure anglers, and with carp anglers wanting a confidence boost!"
