It may be very nice, however I just dont fancy paying 150 quid to take salmon from a 1 acre pond.

It's not a salmon fishery. It's a one acre pond filled with blob scoffing fakes. for £150 you can go for the real thing!

Hi folks

This my first post on the forum. I have been an avid follower for some time. One thing that strikes me is that there are alot of folk who seem to take the moral high ground regarding methods and venues. I have fished Palm Springs and yes it is a small venue but a lot of rubbish has been posted on here regarding the quality of the fish. I fish the rivers and lochs of Central Scotland, and have caught wild salmon. I can say that the fish in Palm Springs were perfect specimens.

I think people need to calm down and take things at face value. I caught Salmon upto 10lb but would place a greater value on a wild fish half that size.

It all comes down to one thing if you dont like something dont go but dont post "opinons" based on no actual experience of the venue / method youre having a go at.
