Booking Swims
It is not necessary to book swims on the fishery - in fact we do not take bookings - just turn up and pay the bailiffs on the bank. If you are concerned that the water you want to go on will be crowded, then you can always ring Roy Parsons a day or two before your trip for an update on the situation. Roy can be reached on 07885 327708. There is usually room on our day ticket waters at the busiest of times.




Several Day Ticket and syndicate lakes loaded full of big carp...

I've been there a couple of times but got fed up with all the bivvies. Not my cup of tea i'm afraid.

i started fishing linear back in the 90's before it became really popular, used to go a few times a year but gave up going about 3 years ago because its too busy, the prices have gone a bit silly too, i don't think any water is worth £25 for 24hrs fishing

[tripper]

Hi Totally agree that the prices are a little steep, But the rewards are massive if you have the right bait and are on the fish. It would appear to be a growing trend with fisheries to Hike their Prices, alot of which profess to contain massive fish. Going to Linear next week let you know how I go. Tight Lines Tripper.

Hi Marker arrived home yesterday after a 4 day stint on Manor. The weather was kind of up and down, for the first two days total sunshine with the temps climbing well into the high 70s, the second 2 days where as it was pretty much every where, Torrential rain. 2 of us over a period of 4 days had 8 runs with my pal losing 6 fish in one way or another, cut off on the bars on the sunken islands a couple of times and fish weeded up on 3 or 4 others. I managed on the final 24 hours 2 runs from a gravel bar around 50 yards in front of me. The return for £200 for the pair of us was 1 Mirror of 15 lbs and a nice Common of 22lbs. We were field testing a new bait for a local bait company. The place was packed when we arrived and no different once we left. Lack of knowledge on Manor was perhaps the problem, or maybe the fact that the choice of swims were limited. Will we go again? Quite possibly, Is it good value for money? probably not. Best wishes Tripper.

unlucky tripper, at least you got a couple of fish, thats actually a fair reward for a linear water, although we see all the success stories about the place we never hear of the other 90% of anglers that have blanked

Done a 24 hour stint at Linear the weekend just gone. Between us we had 7 rods out and only had 1 run (13lb 12oz mirror). The other people we had spoken to hadn't had any luck at all. I was disappointed with the lack of runs considering it was the main runs water that we fished (Brasenose 1). The only reason for the poor fishing we could think of was the Junior Championships two weeks ago.
