NEWS 1 July 2022 to 31 July 2022

2023 Accommodation Reservations at 2022 Rates.

 Unfortunately, it is becoming almost inevitable that Apartment charges will increase next year due to recent significant increases in energy and associated costs. Financiers are also indicating inflation is expected to rise even further this year, peaking at 14%+ in October.

All 2023 weekly accommodation (with fishing) reservations are available at the present 2022 rates until 31st October. We are aiming to publish all our 2023 rates on the 1st November.

 Should there be another “Lockdown” prior to your arrival, we will contact you to discuss refunding all monies paid or if you choose, retain your monies for a 2024 reservation at the 2022 rates quoted.

Perplexing Payment Puzzles

To provide a Reservation Confirmation please include a meaningful payment reference. A name is the minimum reference required but the following example is preferred:

  Name initials and visit date (e.g., John Smith and 15 May becomes JS 15-05)

Payment references showing “Various” or “Membership” or “Lake 3” is not helpful as we have no visitors with these names; it is a unique identifier that is required.

When receiving payments without any way of identifying “what it is for” or “who it is from” we cannot provide a Reservation Confirmation with the result your visit may not be possible – see below the Manor Fisheries website T’s & C’s final point:

Lost and Found

A spare spool for a Middy CXR30 reel was recently found beside one of the lakes. If you believe it is yours, please get in touch.

NEWS 1 April 2022 to 30 April 2022

Winter has passed

The weather at the beginning of Spring fooled us all. On the 1st April it was snow with freezing nights. This April weather has as usual been unpredictable; with snow, hail, rain, high winds, fog, drought and glorious sunshine.

The first Goslings arrived on 19th April

The first six Canadian Goslings on 19th April

We reopened for our 2022 season on Saturday 12th March when it was good to meet Members both old and new.

Payments

At the beginning of the season there is a surge in the number of payments. To quickly provide visitors their corresponding receipt it is especially important to include a reference relating to who is visiting (not paying). At the very least a name would help but the following example is preferred:

Name initials and visit date (e.g., John Smith and 15 May becomes JS 15/05)

When we receive payments without any way of identifying “what it is for or who it is from” we unfortunately cannot forward receipts in a timely manner.

Swim Repairs

Having repaired swims this month, we request anglers do not cause unnecessary damage requiring more repairs. 

Several swims contain concrete for strength where 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 avoid damage through banging into the concrete which will also scare fish away from your swim. Locate your rods (and bank sticks) in the water and further back from the water’s edge to completely avoid the concrete.

Stray leads/hooks

When carrying out maintenance work many stray leads/hooks were retrieved from over-hanging branches. Despite fixed leads and Cat hooks being banned, it was disappointing to come across several of these rigs. If in doubt as to what constitutes a Running Ledger see www.manor-fisheries.co.uk/fixed-or-running-ledgers. Better still, dispense with a lead clip and use a more fish friendly Run-Ring.

A Running lead is the most basic ledger rig possible. It is fish friendly (safe) and almost a guaranteed catcher.

The main line must be able to run freely when there is a take.

That is why we recommend it!!

Keeping with the simplicity theme, we believe the easiest and the best way of attaching a lead is a “Running lead” setup. To do this simply thread the lead onto the mainline, then a bead and swivel and then tie on your hook length/hook (40lbs braid for Cats).

This running ledger rig, with exception of the knotless knot, has been used for hundreds of years in one guise or another and cannot be beaten if you are fishing close range or you are stalking. If you are specimen fishing for Carp, Cats or Tench this is the rig to be used at Manor Fisheries. It is simple and effective and allows concentration on more important things such as watercraft and bait placement.

Please note Membership will be withdrawn from any angler found using a bolt rig (fixed lead) or Cat hook and there will be no exception.

Several Cats have been lost due to the straightening of poor-quality hooks. Hooks for Lake 2 (Carp/Catfish) should be barbless and forged (not wire or Cat hooks). A strong hook with a larger eye than most brands (good for making hair rigs); that is competitively priced, can be sourced from Wicked Rigs (Hand Made in the UK).

At the very least a name would help but the following example is preferred:

When we receive payments without any way of identifying “what it is for or who it is from” we unfortunately cannot forward receipts in a timely manner.

Fishery Maintenance

Introduction

The grounds have become very soft this month following considerable rain and occasional heavy frost. The Canadian and Greylag geese, together with a lone white goose, have returned plus several Coots, which have joined the many resident Mallards and Moorhens.

Maintenance Summary

Since closing the fishery for the winter, the recent wet weather hampered several planned maintenance days. Nevertheless, good progress was made:

• Grounds, Apartments and Cabin Maintenance and with valuable help from David Hodge, Lakes Management continued including completion of cutting back of many overhanging trees on all three lakes.

• Completion of daily fish feeding across all the lakes using the remainder of 1,000kg high quality feed.

• As part of our lakes management program, a team of 8 x Hadlow College students led by Brian Bailey, Commercial Fisheries Manager and Tim O'Brine, Fisheries Lecturer; visited on the 9th March and netted Lake 3 (Mixed). We are pleased to report that no Catfish were found. Along with silver fish many quality Carp were returned to the lake. Our thanks to Terry Keard for supplying the photographs below.

How many fish are there in the net?

Now we know, many Carp plus Bream and Silvers.

Swim Repairs

Having repaired swims this month, we request anglers do not cause unnecessary damage requiring more repairs. 

Several swims contain concrete for strength where 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 avoid damage through banging into the concrete which will also scare fish away from your swim. Locate your rods (and bank sticks) in the water and further back from the water’s edge to completely avoid the concrete.

Stray leads/hooks

When carrying out maintenance work many stray leads/hooks were retrieved from over-hanging branches. In spite of fixed leads and Cat hooks being banned, it was disappointing to come across several of these rigs. If in doubt as to what constitutes a Running Ledger see www.manor-fisheries.co.uk/fixed-or-running-ledgers. Better still, dispense with a lead clip and use a more fish friendly Run-Ring.

A Running lead is the most basic ledger rig possible. It is fish friendly (safe) and almost a guaranteed catcher.

The main line must be able to run freely when there is a take.

That is why we recommend it!!

Run-Ring Kit

Keeping with the simplicity theme, we believe the easiest and the best way of attaching a lead is a “Running lead” setup. To do this simply thread the lead onto the mainline, then a bead and swivel and then tie on your hook length/hook (40lbs braid for Cats).

This running ledger rig, with exception of the knotless knot, has been used for almost hundreds of years in one guise or another and cannot be beaten if you are fishing close range or you are stalking. If you are specimen fishing for Carp, Cats or Tench this is the rig to be used at Manor Fisheries. It is simple and effective and allows concentration on more important things such as watercraft and bait placement.

Please note Membership will be withdrawn from any angler found using a bolt rig (fixed lead) or Cat hook and there will be no exception.

A number of Cats have been lost due to the straightening of poor-quality hooks. Hooks for Lake 2 (Carp/Catfish) should be barbless and forged (not wire or Cat hooks). A strong hook with a larger eye than most brands (good for making hair rigs); that is competitively priced, can be sourced from Wicked Rigs (Hand Made in the UK).
