Foremark Trout Fishery

Will open for trout fishing on 1st April 2009 & close on October 31st 2009.
The lodge will be open from 7.30am with boats available from 8.30am.

The fishery will be managed by myself Ifor Jones although I will be based at Thornton Reservoir I will spend some of my time each week at Foremark. I will be employing a head bailiff who will be running the fishery on my behalf with additional part time bailiffs employed to cover the evening session & any time off.

While the fishery is open 7.30am to sunset or while there are anglers on the site fishing the fishery will always have a member of the fishery staff on duty.

With the reduction in the bank fishing I have priced the boats as low as possible during the week to encourage anglers to take a boat. I am also offering a part day boat morning or afternoon those sessions will be half the fishable hours that day, and an excellent value late evening boat after 6pm.

Thanks Ifor

Looks good Ifor , there has obvisouly a lot said on this forum about the last tenant , none of which was anything to do with your good self , more a gripe with the water board . I drop down that way every year , having family close by . So will drop in and wet a line.

All the best with your new venture..

That's very good value all round, Ifor and has answered the question posed elsewhere about prices going up.

Foremark is a nice spot. All the best with this venture.

...the only fishery manager who could possibly provide as good a service as Phil Dixon.

I think we are all unanimous that STWA treated Phil Dixon very shabbily and have imposed some draconian and illogical rules on the fishery - however Ifor Jones has a long standing reputation in the sport for providing value and being honest and fair with the way he manages his fishery.

I still remember one of his staff telling me not to bother with an evening ticket because Thornton was fishing badly, but if I wanted to fish for an hour or so and then buy a ticket if I caught anything then that was fine....now that is what I call fair.

So, a big negative for STW , but I think we should give Ifor a chance.

I will be paying a visit.

(now - about that free ticket...)

you have done very well ifor to get the fish so quick well done?

There is currently a surplus of trout and has been since late last year, I also use the largest trout supplier in the country.

I still need two people to help me run the fishery.

Ifor

like i said weel done

good luck big shame for phil dixon. if i was down there id take a job in a minute, surely someone down that way needs work.

All the best , can't knock the prices as good as you'll get anywhere up and down the country .

Shame this was not in 12 months time ( bound by contract) i would pay you for this opportunity.

Good look with Foremark, i have never fished the place but have fished Thornton a few times and you do a cracking job there. You get my vote.

All the best.

Mick
