Testimonials
I’ve fished this water on a number of occasions over the years and it’s proved to be a great lake. Hard fighting trout will take a dry fly or an emerger pattern. I’ve wet a line at so many fisheries in the UK including Elinor Trout Fishery (voted best mid sized water) and this is just as good. Great experience and a very pleasant owner.
