Fendick's Fishery

Понравилось Toilet block.

Не понравилось Water levels extremely low and the swim that i was ushered to by an unfriendly Bailiff was unfishable as not only was the water low but the banks very high which meant even if you managed to catch a fish if it was heavy it would be inhumane and stressful for the fish to lift it out about 2 mts and you'd need a landing net with a 3mt handle! which my 2mt handle usually is adequate.
Unfortunately, i didn't really take much notice on arriving and was concentrating on setting up my trailer tent, it wasn't until i'd finished when i realised how difficult it was going to be to fish the swim, so the next morning i expressed my dissatisfaction with not only the lake where i had to fish, but all the lakes were extremely low, so the receptionist phoned the boss and i spoke to him and he apologised and offered me a free day's fishing once the levels were back up and said that for now i could fish on any of the 5 lakes, (which,by the way, the Bailiff didn't say to me to have a look around the lakes and fish one that suits you ,but no, he shows me to the particular swim ,points out the electric point and just says "that's your electric there" and then drives off.
I realise that the cause of the low water levels were due to a hot summer and no rainfall, but my argument with this Fishery was once the levels reach that level and catching and landing fish is both stressful and inhumane for the fish and it's not the way i want to catch any fish, therefore, it would have been the right thing to do to contact future bookings to explain the situation to them and to give them the option of cancelling (with full refund) or to keep the booking! I would definitely have cancelled.
So after my converstion with the boss i found a swim on another lake which whilst it involved putting all my tackle on the edge of the bank, climbing down the bank for about 4/5 ft and setting up on rocks with the water under my chair, i'm in my 70's and don't expect to have to deal with this scenario.
After fishing for a couple of hours the Bailiff shows up and asks me if i'd booked to fish on this lake, to which i replied that i'd just spoken to the boss and he'd told me that i could fish anywhere and on any lake, so he went off in a huff only to return later, he then explained to me that this lake has to be booked (even though there was nobody else fishing there, or wanting to!!! jobsworth) and then started to question my rod test curve etc, i was getting really annoyed with his aggresive and disrespectful attitude that even though i was perfectly entitled to fish there i couldn't put up with this man any longer so i just packed up and left.
My stay should have been 3 nights of idyllic fishing, with the luxury of actually camping on your swim, unfortunately this experience was dreadful and i left a day early never to return.

Понравилось Everything! What isn't there to like. Professional affordable well run setup. Sufficient housekeeping on toilet/shower blocks. Weekly strimming/ cutting of grass.

Dog bins and refuse bins in strategic points, good clubhouse bar and cafeteria dining and then there's the fishing!!

5 lakes to cover everyone's favourite method of pole ,float or bomb rigs with silvers,tench,carp eel and catfish.

Не понравилось Nothing

Понравилось The welcoming email with clear instructions and we both agreed the bed was very comfy.
Lovely view of lake before fishing people pitched up they tent.

Не понравилось We did get some people pitch up they tent in front of the shepards hut which did disturb our view.
The bin that was beside our hut was full.
Found getting into the top bunk wasn't easier maybe a ladder might help.

Понравилось Very clean site. Staff were more than helpful and were very welcoming. The food on site was one of the best meals I've ever had

Не понравилось Roudy family on site who chose to let their dog loose which then tried to attack my dog. The site dealt with this swiftly though and is in no way a bad comment towards the site
