This is an excellent venue for coarse /carp but make sure you check out the web site prior to arriving because they have an extensive list of rules regarding rigs bait and tackle. What the rules dont say is that you cant use boilies, and you cant feed sweetcorn. Their own angel pellets are the only ones you can use but work fine. The fishery is on top of a large hill so it can get windy…think clothing. You can book on line and its best to check if matches are being fished as the places can become limited. All in all well worth a go especially early and late.

You CAN now use red maggot.

Terrible venue, way too many restrictions.

I want to go fishing, not be treated like an idiot because I use a differrent rig to everyone else, even though the rig I use is safer for the fish than normal rigs.
What a complete and utter joke.
