NEWS FLASH!
The Tackle Den triumphs in secret shopping article! Click here for the full review.
Catch Fish this winter like Watermarks
favourite regular, the one and only Ken Ball with a 30lb 4 oz
common well done Ken. Ken wins a free 48 hours on Little Horseshoe
for this month's happiest angler in a photo competition.

Hills Lake now available
on day & 24 hour tickets (4/11/10)
Hills Lake is now availible to fish
on a day ticket or 24 hour ticket as well as Bradley's season
tickets and Watermark Golden Scale Tickets and is transferable
with Bradley's day or 24 hour tickets ( i.e. a Bradley's ticket
covers Hills Lake) More details and opening times for Hills Lake
are as follows Hills Lake (Lake 17) is adjacent to Bradley's (Lake
16) Access is via Bradley's gate 2 with parking available right
next to the lake where toilet facilities are also provided. Stock
levels are fairly unknown however, we know that a batch of relatively
young fish have been stocked in recent years which in some cases
are growing past mid thirties and stunning fish they are too!
Original fish have been reported well
in excess of 40lb's. This venue is ideal for the angler looking
for the fish of a lifetime with its low stock and the potential
of producing a very special fish. You will have seen large fish
caught in the angling press with the location given as a "Large
Southern Gravel Pit" that will have originated from Hills
but suffice to say we have very little formal history of the lake.
We would love to hear from anyone with catch reports and information.
Fishing operates 1st March to the 31st October 19:30pm - 8:30am
and 24 hour fishing 1st November to 1st March
ICE ALERT
Before your visit please ring to
check that your chosen venue is ice free - call the fishery number
on 01285 862680.
Now that we have had the first frost!
Visit Watermark and catch pike like Martin Bowler on Bradley's
or the Pike Lake!

Special
offer For AKAC Members (30/11/09)
Watermark Fisheries have introduced an offer for AKAC members
whereby on production of an existing Full Season Permit (AKAC
09/10) you will be entitled to fish half price at Bradley's Fishery
This offer applies on day tickets &
24 hour tickets only. Additionally an offer of 20% discount will
also be available for any AKAC member wishing to buy a season
ticket for Bradley's.
This is a follow up to the offer
made by Watermark to the club in regards to Lake 31 on the 14th
August when we stated that "Watermark is quite happy to let
those members who are genuine fisherman and prepared to conduct
themselves appropriately fish the waters on Lake 31" - the
full press release we made that day can be viewed at the Tackle
Den. Although the offer we made could not be agreed at that time
despite our best efforts, we now feel that it is important to
demonstrate a gesture of goodwill to those anglers whose fishing
has been affected by the actions of a handful of selfish individuals!
(Please note that camper vans
are not allowed on site. This offer is available only from the
Tackle Den and is valid until 10th March 2010 and all offers are
subject to availability)
