Catch Reports
The majority of our anglers do not fish all day and all night, in fact very few fish through the night.
Sometimes the distraction of the swimming pool, the barbecue, the wine and general relaxation is just to hard to resist

Fished standard safety bolt rigs with sinklink hooklinks and fairly long hairs, all pretty much standard stuff but produced runs well throughout the week.  The lake, the grounds and especially the house are immaculatey kept by two lovely friendly and welcoming people
