A syndicate fishery which is an agricultural reservoir the syndicate rents from the landowner. Members stock and manage the fishery which is for Fly Fishing only. The water is private with no access for day tickets however members can invite guests. The fish are predominantly Rainbow Trout with a small number of Brown Trout, Blue Trout and Tiger Trout. There is also a resident population of Rudd which probably arrived as spawn on waterfowl legs. Aside of the fishing the water is a haven for wildlife. There is a large population of frogs, the occasional grass snake and rarely adders. Rabbits and foxes are frequently seen, plus the wild fowl ducks of various breeds, coots, Moorhens, great crested and little grebes and a large selection of land dwelling birds. Insect life is prolific from gnats to dragonflies, which is good for the fishing. It is a place where you can see many a happy fisher person rod in hand playing with their flies!!!
