It probablys will be one of the best day ticket waters but it wont be for at least 18 month.The water needs to settle and mature before its fished and all the weed needs dealing with which it probablys will be by the fish after a time.My source who told me about the tap water and pictures is very reliable as he supplied the pipe work and fittings for the mains for the water and also saw the pictures being taken as they were stocking the lakes...Its perfect sceneary but the fishing and the prices are rubbish.You would need a gold card and a hefty bank balance if you wanted 3 meals a day from the cafe.I had a minature bacon and egg bap and my mate had a ham salad which was a peice of lettuce and a slice of ham on mini bap and cost us £7..Really not worth it(the food or fishing).Forgot to mention also asked fisherman on mill lake aswell and they all said the same aswell not worth the money and nothing whatsoever had happened on their either and a couple of them had been their for 2 days aswell and some had paid for 2 but were packing up after 1 day....

If you ever decide to fish this place think again as its very very poor.3 of us booked the lodge lake 6 week ago at the cost of £48 each for 48hrs on the 7th august.We travelled 90 mile to get their and when we first arrived it looked great.Off we started fishing.The first thing we noticed when feature finding is that it was absolutely full of weed.We all fished until saturday afternoon and not one bite of any kind not even a line bite.I had a walk around the lake and asked the other anglers there if they had anything and all of them said no not even a knock.I decided to go to their tackle shop and spent a further £40 on their baits using their recommended tactics and behold come sunday morning still nothing whatsoever.I decided to speak to another angler who arrived the night before and found out some interesting information.The pools were all filled with TAP WATER in MARCH and MOST of the pictures on their website are stocking pictures NOT catch pictures.If you want a EXTREMELY OVERPRICED cafe and bait shop and want to catch absolutely nothing except a cold then this is the place to be.Every angler who had spent 1 or even 2 nights their at the same time as us all said they would never fish their again and most of them were locals..DONT waste your money or time you will regret going.The water is not mature or ready to be fished for a long time.....
