Latest catches

OXLEASE LAKE
****Important Info****

Week commencing 24/09/07 will see work start on a new path along the platform side of Oxlease, this work will take 3-4 weeks to complete. This is to try and eliminate the muddy conditions we saw this winter and during the recent wet weather. We won’t be closing the swims on this bank and can only apologise in advance for any noise and disturbance this may cause to any anglers on the lake.
