~(posted 07/01/2020) PERMITTED TO OPEN…BUT

We are now permitted to open as usual with the covid restrictions in place.

BUT… All lakes are currently frozen so we will be remaining closed until the thaw sets in. We have made this decision to ensure the safety of our members & fish stocks.

 

~(posted 29/11/2020) CLOSED DUE TO COVID

We will be closed until further notice due to the new Covid-19 restrictions.

 

~(posted 29/11/2020) ALL MATCH ANGLERS:

~(posted 09/09/2020) Ground-bait back in stock!

We’re stocked back up on Bait-Tech Super Method Mix (1KG).

*Stock is likely to come and go as suppliers aren’t back to normal yet!

 

~(posted 23/06/2020) Hook-lenths back in stock! (No Ground-bait)

We’re stocked back up on all hook lengths & baiting needles (including speedstop). Some items will also be available to purchase on our website within the next few days.

Please be aware we are still unable to stock ground-bait. (micro pellets still available!)

 

~(posted 16/06/2020) Tackle Shop Stocking Issue

As some may have already noticed, our stock of hook-lengths has become extremely limited. Due to high demand, manufacturers are currently unable to provide stock of many items. 

ALL Banded Hook-lengths (4″ & 15″), Baiting Needles & Ground-bait are completely out of stock.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we will keep you posted on this matter!

 

~(posted 07/06/2020) Spawning finished!

The Carp have finished spawning and are feeding well!

 

~(posted 29/05/2020) Carp Are Currently Spawning

Please be aware, as of this morning the carp are now spawning, we therefore ask you to avoid fishing in the margins where carp are spawning.

This is to reduce the risk of foul hooking fish that aren’t currently feeding!

 

**~(posted 28/05/2020) Membership Applications Postponed**

We regret to inform those that are not already members, we have now made the decision to postpone new applications until further notice. This decision has been made to ensure that the site doesn’t become overcrowded and remains a pleasurable environment for all anglers and our fish stock.

Any updates regarding this will be posted here and on our public Facebook group, we apologise for any inconvenience and hope you can understand our reasoning behind this decision.

~(posted 19/03/2020) (COVID-19) IMPORTANT NOTICE IN RESPONSE TO ANGLERS ENQUIRIES:

Whilst Andy, Jay and I remain healthy (and long may it continue!!) we will continue to open unless otherwise instructed. Although we will have to introduce some ‘dont’s’ i’m afraid.

We would ask anyone showing or been exposed to cold or flu like symptoms to respectfully not attend the fishery.
As disruptions to schools continue would request that for the time being, students refrain from gathering at the fishery as an alternative and would ask parents to assist us with this.

Please be aware, we may refuse entry.

We apologise for these unprecedented measures but hope you understand.

~(posted 01/07/2019) *MISTRAL LAKE CLOSURE UPDATE*

Firstly we would like to thank everyone for their kind comments and offers of help, we really do appreciate the support.

Many apologies but we have taken the decision to close Mistral Lake to all anglers (Inc. Matches) from today for 2 weeks. This is to allow carp to continue with their spawning as stress free as possible.

Again, many apologies and thank you for understanding. Be sure to check back for further info.
