an extremly well run , and friendly fishery , great fishing with good quality fish , hard fighting clean rainbows , and browns!!! nice helpfull staff , i cant recommend this place enough , i would rate this as the best fishery in cheshire!!
Excellent small lake. Although living nearby (only about 4 miles away), only visited this year for the first time. Have been 6-8 times this year for 2-4 h each time, always landing 3-6 fish (and missing at least as many). Owner really friendly and helpful. I mainly get smaller rainbows (1-2 lb), and they really fight well and are in great condition; there are bigger fish – I landed a rainbow of 4.5 lb and a gorgeous brownie of about 3 lb, and log book shows that 6 lb-ers are regularly landed. Other highlight was seeing a kingfisher fly over the lake and land on the far bank reed-bed; herons and other water birds are regular visitors. You do need to switch flies, depth and retrieve, but I’ve now caught on pretty well all fly types – buzzers, nymphs, bloodworm, cat’s whisker and dry flies.
