NEW<br />
ENTRY<br />
NEW entry and deservedly so. This<br />
is a popular, proactive, scenic small water<br />
near Abergele, Conwy, North Wales offering<br />
five lakes for varying abilities and excellent<br />
facilities. Well stocked with good browns,<br />
rainbows and tiger trout. The fishery has<br />
recently decided to be a barbless hooks-only<br />
water out of respect for the fish. A fishery that<br />
really looks after its customers.<br />

BINGHAM<br />
NEW entry. A superb top<br />
of the water venue run<br />
by Wessex Water lying<br />
in the rolling hills of the<br />
Somerset/Dorset border.<br />
Particularly good early<br />
and late season with the<br />
main body of water by<br />
the dam producing well<br />
in spring and loch-style<br />
tactics in the southern<br />
arm scoring for the rest<br />
of the season. Quality<br />
stock ranging from 2lb<br />
to double-figures. The<br />
Sutton Bingham Fly<br />
Fishing Club run regular<br />
events.<br />

TROUT FISHERY<br />
Rising nine places because it’s well managed<br />
and popular with purists who love the fullyfinned,<br />
streamlined, quality rainbows and<br />
browns to double-figures at this three-lake<br />
complex. One of the top small waters in Essex,<br />
close to Epping Forest and junction 11 of the<br />
M11. The spring-fed clear water lakes suit<br />
stalking and have prolific insect life due to<br />
the gravel, clay and chalk beds. Dry fly works<br />
almost all year here!<br />

EARITH LAKES<br />
A MIXED fishery in the<br />
Cambridgeshire Fens, Earith includes a 12-acre<br />
trout lake stocked with blue, brown and rainbow<br />
trout to double-figures. Fishing is mainly from the<br />
bank, but with a number of punts for hire (floattubes<br />
permitted for a small launching fee). A<br />
former gravel pit, the lake goes to 17ft and boasts<br />
clear water, an undulating bed and a rich habitat<br />
that produces handsome, hard-fighting trout.<br />

GLUDY LAKE<br />
PURE catch and release allows the<br />
rainbows, blues and browns to develop full fins<br />
in as natural an environment as possible. The<br />
management allows only 10 anglers maximum<br />
a day, ensuring an enjoyable day’s sport and low<br />
angling pressure. Lying in the Brecon Beacons,<br />
the tree-lined, 7.6-acre, spring-fed lake has rich<br />
feeding to olives, buzzers, damsels, sedges and<br />
fry. Day lodge and tuition, as well as boats.<br />
