Reviews Summary

"Caught my first decent fish here.
Can't fault it.
"Where da fish? WDF?" They are here. Fantastic helpful people."

"Absolute joke of a place! After booking a day off work and spending close on £100 on bait and tackle, I was kicked off by some random guy with an attitude and an out of control dog (Savaged a duck yet still kept it off the lead!) because all of a sudden you are required to be a member? Nothing mentioned on the website, infact still stating the price of a day ticket when I looked and I've fished here for years without a problem. Certainly will not be back. It's fine to change your policy but at least have the decency to tell people before they waste their hard earned cash and valuable days off work."
