>>i never did any good under the old management <<
had good days and bad days there...mostly bad but scenically it was always one of my favourite reservoirs. I'm delighted it's been taken over and hopefully will establish itself as the premier venue it ought to be.

Coachman16, please let us know how you get on this weekend. I've not been out yet but if the weather picks up may try Willington over the holiday. Does anyone know ticket types/prices at Foremark? Cheers, Squire.

Same old story for me yesterday I'm afraid I arrived full of anticipation after reading coachman16's reports and various in the local press. Started fishing about 1645 in corner Sunblest Bay on black buzzers. Can't fail I thought, any minute now..... After half an hour moved round to Bramble, no joy there either. Moved back to top of Sunblest. Tried b/buzzers, Diawl Back, GRHE, F Fly, suspender buzzer, damsels, etc.... Ended up on Hut Point where a couple of guys were just leaving having caught fish on PTN earlier in the day. Tried a couple of those for good measure and caught a perch! Only saw the odd fish being taken allthough there were a lot moving. Nice to see the stones between lodge and yacht slipway have been cutback. Perhaps its just me and Foremark.......
