I've never been HUFC,

There are supposed to be alot of rules which some say are "too much" But as I haven't been I don't know.
I'd ask on gameangler forum as alot of the regulars that fish it, post on there or did?

Ive not fished it, but wanted to try for a while. people i talk to say its not hard, adn there are some decent fish in it. it looks clear which suits me down to the ground, BUT. the fish on the website look dreadful. the heads are wrong, and the 'tails' are horrid. Compare those fish to the doubles ive had from Avington, Chalkies and Lechlade, and they don't compare.

Cheers

If you go tell Sandra you have fished there before otherwise she will spend the next hour going through ALL the rules step by step.

I agree the tails on those fish do look poor

There are alot of doubles caught but alot stocked so I hear.

From what I've heard BB it aint a stalking water though.

They do have a very good tackle shop (angler's lodge) fantastic mail order also, and the fishery is supposed to very well run.

I have a mate who goes regulary

Cheers

That is true.

I have fished there maybe 4 times and it can get crowded, its only a small place and I think if its fully booked then 18 rods (fully booked) are 6 too many. There is some of the bank that you cannot get a line out due to trees etc behind you so the open bank is at a premium.

Its not a stalking water IMO, the times I have been there has been a little too much weed for my liking.

The tackle shop on site is excellent.

Yeah we suffered that last year,middle of February and she was telling us not to wear anything less than shorts and tee shirt!

.All i`ll say is 4 of us made the journey south of the border and i doubt if you could pay any of us to fish there again!As for that top "lake",well i`ve gave bigger urine samples!!
