No Bank Fishing Areas:
No bank fishing on any of the Dams / Stoned banks.

Bank Angler Car Access:
Perimeter road access for bank anglers is restricted to 30 vehicles at any one time. We recommend bank anglers call the lodge & book a car pass to avoid disappointment. Access to the perimeter road will be controlled via a gated system, bank anglers will be required to ensure that gates are kept closed & they park in the parking areas provided.

General public will not be allowed to drive around the reservoir, except for blue badge holders, STW will also control number of blue badge holder who have access.

Boat Anglers:
Boat anglers will have the same fishing areas as they did in the past. Boat anglers will be able to drive to the boat pontoon to unload their tackle, but will in future be required to park in the car park.

Facilities:
Are unfortunately going to be pretty basic, we will be operating out of the garage / store room situated in front of the pontoon, we are busy turning this building into a temporary lodge. We are in this building due to the building work STW are preparing to carry out on the site during the next few months.

Due to this & problems getting a temporary secondary phone line we will not have access to a credit card machine, therefore payment will need to be made by Cheque or Cash.

Fair enough prices I think, shame the 8 fish limit hasn't survived but didn't really expect it to. Unfortunately that makes it more expensive than Carsington now, which is also nearer for me, although I dare say I'll still do an occasional visit as before. Can juniors still share an adult ticket/limit and if so what's the age limit for juniors please?

I would be interested in the answer to that question. I have a 12 year old who is chomping at the bit to get on there!

Juniors will be able to share an adults permit.

Is fishing still allowed in Rainbow corner? Are there car park facilities adjacent to Draycote Bank?

Just spoke to Ifor on the phone, rod average of 9 yesterday, no additional charge for the car pass and parking in the bays provided, seems fair enough! I’ll be there tomorrow, 1st time out this year, shocking Oddly I fished it's last day before it closed without even knowing! Might meet some of the same fish about 16 months apart!

announcement said it wasn't opening til today - was that a practice day or did it open a day early?
