smithy11 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Anyone got an opinion on Blackfords AC? Buying a permit next weekend so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian97 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 They are a match oriented club so tend to overstock their lakes which rather restricts the size potential of their fish. But it is very well run club and they don't treat carp anglers as second class citizens like a lot of match clubs. They would get a thumbs up from me.

burnsy16 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hi, My Names Dave and Im on the Board at Blackfords. We Have 4 pools. Check out our website. Calf heath Resevoir has loads of carp in - in some opinions too many. The other 3 have undergone over many years selective stocking and the one mentioned above (gravel pit by the orbital) is being very carefully stocked to produce some really big fish. We put in about 150 beautiful strain mirrors which went in at 5lb and are now coming out at mid-doubles and are absolute corkers. Like I say check out the website - type blackfords angling in google. Also at £20 per rod for four pools I can honestly say it is one of if not the best value ticket in the country! Regards Dave Burns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
