Not heard of it geoff, used to enjoy the odd day trip years ago, is it a well established water?.

I walked round the place several years ago. It's a small but perfectly-formed water and the one angler I spoke to had nothing but praise, having caught a 2lb+ roach as part of a good mixed catch on a sunny morning. It's part of a dual venture together with a plant nursery/garden centre and it's easy to miss it and drive straight past unless they've improved the signage.

Don't know about the fishing but the breakfast is good in the garden centre, visited it often when I lived there.
I went there last Friday for a few hours. It is a well kept fishery with decent pegs and mown verges. Caught some nice roach on corn and carp in the margins on paste. There is a toilet and a café with well priced drinks (didn't have any food)
One angler a few pegs down was catching carp steadily all afternoon. He was fishing paste up in the water, never seen that done before and don't know how the paste stayed on the hook. It was a very effective method though. Anyone else done it?
