Just wondered if anyone has any idea what time Witcombe Water in Gloucestershire opens. Have tried ringing the fishery for the last few days but there's been no answer or answering machine!! Also any reports on how it's fishing would be good too.Thankyou. :0
Hi All, my first posting in answer to your question on Witcombe fly fishery water.
There’s a number of things that should be explained to day ticket and season holders intending to fish Witcombe water.
You are not aloud to walk round or view the pools to inspect prior to fishing.
Theirs 3 pools only two can be fished.
Theirs an old boat each on two lakes you must tie to the buoys close to the bank if you can find them.
Number 1 has
not been stocked for a number of years and imposable to cast from. the banks are overgrown with willows,
Both the fishable lakes 2/3 the banks are supposed to be cut by the water board can be very hard to fish without a line tray .
Number 2/3 pools hold stock trout between 1-2lbs and introduced sometimes every quarter 3 months???
All 3 lakes get bad service weed making it very difficult to fish.
It’s fished hard by the locals when stocked, after a week it’s almost dead,
You now pay £44 a day ticket for a 6 fish limit,
Half day 3 fish limit £26
Evening 2 fish limit £19
The time to pack up is displayed in the pay desk, usually two hours before dark and before the rise, if your still fishing you get the owner balling at you, like a banshee to get off the lake if you can point out theirs still half hour to go its like being attack by a mouthfull of wasps,
“If you don’t like my rules don’t come.” YOU’RE BANNED.
