2021 Fishery News!!

Driving around lake and price increase, please read to the end!

So most of you will have seen the hard work and massive investment we have put into the fishery over the past couple of years. A second lake with two planned log cabins soon to be opened. Upgraded otter fencing. Tracks upgraded for drop off, showers and two extra toilets for both lakes to use. For added security we now have a multi camera cctv system recently installed. Not to mention the £40k of fish added to both lakes to improve stocks further.
So as of Friday 4th June you will be allowed to drop your kit off at your swim then immediately drive your car round the one way system to return it to the car park. At least one new shower and toilet block will also be open.

Unfortunately to cover the cost of the added electricity, gas, cleaning and track maintenance we will have to increase prices. We believe with 12 30’s to aim for and the added facilities this is still great value and in line with other fisheries. You will still be able to obtain a discount for swim sharing.

Prices as follows-
12hrs £20 or £30 for two to swim share.
24hrs £30 or £50 for two to swim share.
36hrs £50 or £80 for two to swim share.
48hrs £60 or £100 for two to swim share.

Cabin prices when the booking opens will be-
Mon 12pm to Weds 10am – £160
Wes 12pm to Fri 10am – £160
Fri 12pm to Mon 10am – £300
Prices for up to two anglers.

These prices will be activated on Friday the 4th the same day as we first allow driving around the lake.
We all hope you enjoy this new improved experience, we have invested so much to make it a better experience for everyone to use.
Kind regards
C.M. Fisheries Ltd

The 2016 Pairs competition will be taking place in October!

Please contact us to get your names down.

Small increase in prices to reflect the quality and the increased size of the fish

With 3 known fish 25-28lbs and lake records expecting to be broken again this year, we are definitely going in the right direction! The increase will also help go towards the recent swim revamp, increased Cotswold stone, this is to prevent the wear and tear of the swims in prolonged wet periods.

(one to two pics of the new swims to follow!)

March Pairs Competition 2012

The ‘March Pairs Competition’ took place over 48 hours, giving anglers just one night to settle into their swim. The fishing was tough and the recent changes in weather and amount of pressure on the water meant the fish weren’t on the feed as much as usual and it took some doing to get on the leader board.

Congratulations to the prize winners and all those who took part, an enjoyable 30hours had by all and great sportsmanship.
