Yes there is still fishing on there mate, I have a pal with a ticket. Some big fish in there too. Very hush, hush as you can imagine!

Ref Marys, does anyone know where the new stock came from? I assumed they were VS fish as I think the owners have that Trent View place too and I'm sure that was full of VS fish?

Same owners as Trent view.

Loads of the original big fish in Mary's managed to swim 3 miles Up stream from ditchford lakes but it was a free for all then with many fish moving about the valley

Anyone know any details on the lake next door to Mary's?

Not 'en trend', it's all scaley bangers nowadays, shame really, a big leather is quite a catch rarity wise

"It's basically the Wraysbury story all over again innit. What it was was probably not sustainable. What it's become is a very, very different beast. Times change."

That was exactly what was in my mind Ian. I've not been there myself, but from what I've heard Wraysbury is a fantastic fishery now and both of interest to many anglers, rather than a hardcore few and financially viable, this securing the future of angling there.

It was insane mate.
I remember seeing a shot of Dan Bruton with it. One of the most impressive pics I've ever seen. Incredible fish.
Are you sure?
