Fished here a few times over the last two months, always enjoy my sessions on "Long Island" where bagging large Bream, Roach and Rudd can be achieved, with a bonus Carp thrown in. This is their silvers lake.
Allegedly a certain Paul Gasgoine used to frequent this place to fish (and no doubt the bar too!)
Went there yesterday morning at 6am to find the water level startingly low. I thought at first someone had been messing with the sluice but after a few hours the bailiff came around and told me it was intentionally being drained ahead of netting on Thursday. It was fishable of course and I caught a decent bag of bream, roach and small commons.
The country club owners have decided more money can be made by turning the lake into a leisure activities lake for weekend sales reps, the "team bonding" company getaways and the like
The fish are being move to another smaller lake around the back, and a second smaller lake is possibly being dug out later this year.
The specimen lake remains as is.
Little sad really as this place appears to have been an established fishing lake for many years. I've had some cracking bags of bream and big roach from the lake.
Fishermen/women usually always lose out.
