Press Manor is a great little fishery well stocked with free rising fish. Best if you can get one of the boats but the bank fishing is pretty good.
There are always fish moving and buzzers do well here.
The average size is probably 1 1/2 lbs but there are some bigger fish. It's not a big fish water but you can catch a lot of fish.
However the fish don't give themselves up and it can be very frustrating if you haven't hit on the correct method.
Evenings are great, particularly when the sun goes down. Great value for money.

I was at press manor a few weeks ago and had a great day. As Montana Joe mentioned they are not huge fish, the majority of mine were 1 1/4 lb's but I did land one at 4lb's.
I fished from one of the boats at the end close to the Dam using Blk / Grn Montana's and was constantly getting pulls.
Worth a look in but I have also heard that Carsington is very good which i think is not too far away.
