20th September 2023

Following a difficult Summer, we are thrilled that the water temperatures are finally heading down and its clear that the fish are responding well.  Danny Kneller had a nice 4 fish bag last week – the biggest of which was a healthy 3lb 8oz.  Also Jeff Bray visited us whilst staying in the area for a couple of days – having caught his limit of 2 fish on his first day and landing 1 fish on day two he was very happy particularly given the strong winds he was presented with – well done Jeff! 

Phil’s diary has been jam-packed with either estate maintenance (on visiting, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s looking fantastic everywhere) and also plenty of coaching sessions.  We always love to see people giving fly fishing a go and everyone who tries it is always thrilled when they hook into their first trout.  A 2hr lesson with Phil, including equipment hire and a 1fish ticket is as little as £60 for one person and only £90 for 2 people – 2hrs is enough to learn all the casting techniques needed for a full day of fly fishing.  Autumn is a particularly good time to give it a go as the water temperatures are falling and the fish are hungry and fighting well.  A voucher for a coaching session makes a fantastic gift too!

Sunday 24th September marks our first Brick Farm League match of this season so Brick and Spring Lakes will be closed until 1pm.  Following the success of last year’s competition we are excited to see some fantastic fish from some fantastic anglers, backed by our brilliant League sponsors (see our website and social media for details, and do get in touch if you’d like to be involved).  Good luck to all involved!
