2021 Interest in Angling Growth

Over the past 2-years the general consensus is interest and participation in angling has increased significantly and this may be due to the knock-on effect of COVID-19. Unfortunately, to accommodate this growth it is probable that some Fisheries will become even more over-crowded during 2022.

We welcome confirming that during 2022 we will continue to be “Never knowingly over crowded”.

PS Which day this month saw the most number of website enquiries?

Answer: Wednesday 29th December

Lake 1 and 2 Swims

All the upgraded swims contain concrete and the use of a rod pod is ideal. Although the use of bank sticks is still fine, when fishing near to the water’s edge please avoid damage through banging into the concrete which will also scare the fish away from your swim. Alternatively, you can locate your rods (and bank sticks) further back from the water’s edge to completely avoid the concrete.

COVID-19

The Angling Trust (https://anglingtrust.net/covid-19/) submitted a case to government for the early and full resumption of all forms of angling including night fishing and competitions. This is permitted under the daily exercise rules and as with all aspects of the coronavirus restrictions, please keep far away from fellow anglers.

Should there be a COVID-19 “Lockdown” prior to your arrival, we will contact you to discuss returning monies paid or if you choose, retain your monies for a 2023 visit at 2022 rates. Keep well and keep safe.
