Sad news i heard today mate,a small syndicate water by me has been hammered by otters,my mate who fishes it said EVERY carp in it is now dead
My friend reckons they had been telling the owner to install fencing for the last 3yrs,citing experiences yourself and i have already suffered,its now 3yrs too late
The owner even had the audacity to say that a £100 increase in membership is to go on top of the £400 the anglers already pay
Needless to say he wont be getting many renewing their tickets

langley lakes are about 5 mile north of preston and it is a 24hr fishery

me and my brother went on a local small pit in the middle of a country park for an overnighter,apart from the path around it its totally enclosed with trees and foliage and pitch black with no moon,hes 1 side,im the other float fishing with starlites,,i heard someone or something making its way through the trees behind me,its 1am now,i shouted out,whos that,hoping some animal would run away,it never,it was now about 6ft into the foliage behind me,my neck hair stood up,my brother walked round to see what i was shouting at,then peering through the bracken i saw someone pulling on a cigarette,the end light up,i shouted again,but this time i swore and told whoever to f... off,the cigarette lit again,i got my black widow catapult out,filled it with swan shot and fired it full belt at whoever was there,the screams were merciless,then the sound of running with the occasional thump of hitting trees as he went,i reckon it was a hospital job for him.
