Its a syndicate of clay pigeon shooters thats took it over and they are promising to stock fish up to 20lb.Bring it on as i used to love fishing Morton when Bill was the water keeper as he always looked after you.Things seemed to slip away after Bill moved up north to be near his daughter.So here is to bringing back the good old days at Morton.
