Since the recent announcement of Lockdown 2.0 we have received lots of calls and messages with regards to whether we will be remaining open and if so what changes will be put into place…

– Anglers must arrive between the hours of 7:30am and 10:30am only and must depart by 6pm.
– Overnight fishing is allowed with the tickets running from 8am to 8am.
– It will be a maximum of 2 anglers (any larger groups will not be allowed to enter).
– NO visitors.
– An angler can have 1 guest with them as long as they arrive and depart together (and once again as long as they are in no larger groups than 2).

– The bait and tackle shop will be CLOSED until further notice, however we will be doing click and collect orders as long as they are made a minimum of 24 hours before arrival and must be paid prior to collection.
– Tickets will remain cash only, with anglers being asked to put their money into the envelopes provided upon arrival.
