This fishery is absolutely terrible the rules are absolutely ridiculous, I'm surprised anyone can actually fish here tbh, I wanted to book a night session but wasn't aloud as my bivvy was black and not green stupid like the fish will care or anyone else for that matter, I don't drink but rules state if your having a beer and yas caught your banned for life but yet the ballifirst was driving round pissed hypercrit if yas asked me, no float fishing is stupid, nor leaving your rods or bivvy unattended at any time that's the most stupid rule in the world it's like they want you to reel in and take ya rods an bivvy to the toilet everything yas need a pissed, tbh I will never ecumenical or go here again, by far the worst fishery I've ever been too it either needs to be closed or put under new management and rules made more lenient.

Last fished in 2017. Had a few decent doubles. Soon found out that Swims are often saved for the ‘regulars’ and the bailiff was still boozed from the night before on my final trip. Rammed solid every visit.
