dst Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Firstly, I am a new member so it's only appropriate that I say 'hello' initially. I've had the chance to do a bit of browsing and found some really interesting stuff already! Anyway, a very old friend of mine has been 'given' a cottage in North Yorkshire by his in-laws (lucky man!) and is trying to arrange a get together later in the year. It is located near to Stonebridge Fishing Lakes and as he knows I'm a dead keen angler and he's dabbled a bit in the past, he's suggested that we spend some of the time fishing at Stonebridge. I would be grateful to hear from anybody who has fished the place - I've looked at their website and it looks OK, however )and without trying to be controversial), previous experience has taught me that websites don't always provide an accurate reflection.......

grahams81 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Mate, i have fished Stonebridge Lakes a couple of times - its mainly known for being a specimen trout fishery (huge stockies) The previous owner never opened the carp lake, it was totally overgrown and unfishable - The current owner has done a lot of work on the fishery and opened the carp lake a few years back. There are some nice looking fish in there i had a good session there back in the summer and had about 7 fish biggest being 16lb others above 10lb. I caught on a variety of boiles / pellets / corn etc - no need for complicated rigs as the fish haven't seen much action and are pretty green. Its a day ticket only place which is good value at £8 or a bit more if you want a fryup mid morning Tightlines. Quote
dst Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 Grahams81 - thanks very much for the information - very helpful indeed. The trip will be more of a 'social' in truth, as the guy I'm fishing with lives in Belgium and I only get to see him every few years; that said it's always nice to catch! Once again, thanks for your help. Quote
