I am pleased to announce that ashgrounds will be open from 7pm tonight and Hobbs Croft from tomorrow morning.
Again, if you do not have carp care kit then please buy some from the shop. Without it you can’t fish.
Thanks guys.

Brilliant. Do we know if Steve is still doing breakfast and lunch orders at the weekend
So it’s alright to go on Hobbs or ash on Saturday? I got the dt carp care from the shop ages ago
Andrew French
Just to try and stop the amount of phone calls I’m getting about re opening.
I will check the ash and Hobbs tomorrow mid day and make an announcement on when The fishery will re open.
The announcement will be made on Facebook so please keep an eye out.
We will re open when I feel that the fish are going to be ok to be caught.
Thanks guys and hopefully this will help.

Ah i have only just seen the post saying that the hobbs and croft lake is currently closed, however i made an online booking last night for Saturday. Is this likely to be cancelled? I didn’t see anything on the website 😅.
Ahhhhh so what your saying is give you bell to check?? 😁🙃🙃
Fish need at least 2 to 3 weeks rest especially the larger one which can easily go belly up after spawning
We may be shut for spawning on ashgrounds but the guys are doing loads of maintenance to ensure you have a great visit. Everything cut back and even taken out the floating reeds between 9 and 10 that have been plaguing fisherman this year.

Top job as always and did they remove the tree trunk on swim 13?
I was wondering why there was weeds just floating amazing work
good to see doing great job
Want to see a monster? while Steve’s been checking around ashgrounds he’s seen our lake record common a couple of times. Out last at 43lb, Steve believes it’s a lot bigger now and probably between 46 and the magical 50lb mark.
Could this be Fennes first ever 50?
So anyone who catches this fish, will win 48hours free on ashgrounds and 10kg of any dt baits boilies plus pellet and dna. Open to all anglers so when open, come and give it a go. Oh and must be verified to win and great pictures. Can be retained and phone Steve or me to come and check it out, would love to see it on the bank.

Can't wait for my first visit to Fennes in July then August! Absolute chunk 😲
Wonder how big old ned is aswell
Mega this one is mine next month
So as spawning ends and they have had time to recover, all fisherman have a responsibity to take extra care when handling fish. There will be marks, scuffs and general damage to the fish, so you need to have The ability to treat these marks and return them to the water safely.
You ( don’t care if you have a mate with it) must have fish treatment with you to fish. There are many brands and I do not care which one you use and yes DT carpcare is sold in the shop Thursday to Sunday. This is not a situation where you can turn up and not have it and get away with it because we will be checking every time for the next month at least. Haven’t got it, you won’t be fishing as it’s as important as having a rod.
Dip your nets every time you arrive and my advice is dip them when you leave. ITS FREE so why wouldn’t you for the sake of 5 minutes and a chat with Steve. While waiting, use the toilet, grab a coffee, buy some bait!!!
We need you to help us keep our fish in amazing condition, want to do it and youll have a great experience, don’t want to and you won’t be staying.
will Let you know when the lakes are open again. But hill and black is now and that won’t change so book on today.
