Just a quick reminder, Rowing boats are currently ONLY allowed on Kingfisher.

IF the weed gets really bad and fish are being regularly weeded up, then we will announce on the web site that rowing boats are allowed for the freeing of weeded fish.

Heron has picked up, 4 anglers last week had 52 fish between them, biggest at 51lb 8oz.

Braided mainline does tend to cut through weed much better than nylon, just remember to use tubing or a nylon leader to protect the fish from any potential damage.

I find braid useful due to lack of stretch as well, the way I fish in the weed is quite tight to the lead(braid in the weed isn't going to spook anything)drop of lead and fishing quite a tight clutch. On the pick up the fish loses the lead and unable to run at speed comes to the surface. Bite indication is almost instant and you are then playing a fish at the surface rather than all ready in the middle of a weedbed.

In previous years we have allowed you to bring your own rowing boat for any fish that get weeded up, but only from June onwards, as before they just are not needed.

There are several boats on site that Ru, the bailif, has access to if needed.

It is planned that you will still be able to bring your own boats as in previous years, if this changes it will be on the website.

On Kingfisher lake you are allowed boats all year, not just to land fish but to bait up as well.

This year we (last 6 months) we have been treating with a new biological weed treatment. It has had an effect,but does take time.

All the swims are really well defined, by large trees, bushes, undergrowth etc. All as mentioned, each swim has a board showing that swims water.

Anyone fishing into another anglers water WILL be asked to leave.....

Shoulders was out this morning at a new top weight of 83lb 10oz!

Historically she hits top weight in March/April so what will she be then?

At least once month

Whole complex closed in February, 1st March ti the 13th is for winter ticket holders only, venue opens to all on the 14th.

Room for a couple of anglers on most lakes in March, but April is getting heavily booked up.

Its well worth a go early in the season, Pete from KGB baits in Holland had Bruno(60lb plus) 24hrs later Shoulders(80lb plus) and a couple of days later the grey lady(50lb plus) opening week last year PLUS a few back up 30's and 40's.
