Note match bookings.

TOP TIP:
Float fishing with hemp and tares can offer excellent Roach sport throughout the Summer and Autumn. Bread flake or Cheese paste for Chub. Particles, maggots and Casters are worthy baits for Barbel and Chub. Don't rule out artificial baits if small fish keep stripping the hook. Use pellets with care! It is very easy to over feed and pre-occupy the fish.

Please note:
Strictly adhere to the permitted parking areas.
No bivvies. Maximum time in the same swim 24 hours.
No access during the closed season.
ALWAYS use adequate and well balanced tackle when targeting or expecting Barbel. RDAA recommend no less than 6lb line with a suitably strong hook.
