“Big thanks to Jerry and Vicky for our visit 25th March. Stunning, unusual fishery with dramatic views all around a very deep slate quarry. Good fighting fish and very deep waters. We will be back.”

“Fantastic fishery that’s well looked after by Gerry, top bloke who can’t give you enough information on what’s working best! Had 7 fish out and lost 5 all on drys. Hard fighting fish and a lovely place to fish! Can’t wait to get back”

“Hadn’t fished this venue for many years, so called in just to check it out. Had a chat with a guy called Jerry and came back a couple of weeks later to fish.
Conditions weren’t favourable but I had a very enjoyable day and will definitely go back.
The water is very deep and the fish are like submarines, dive, dive dive..
At the end of the day I sat on the bench chatting to Jerry about the local area.
Looking forward to fishing it again.” 👍
