点评:I’ve fished here on and off for nearly 30 years and when I first used to go the average bag usually contained at least one four or five pounder out of a then limit of 5 at an affordable price.
Times and owners change and there were a few years when the average stock size did drop to around 2lb.
Since the current owners took over I could not justify the day ticket cost (£17.50 a fish on a 4 fish ticket) compared to waters up country and therefore stopped going, depriving myself of a branch of the sport I love.
So today i gave it a go, in my mind I assumed the ticket price would reflect the size and quality of the fish. Well TBF the quality was fine but after a few laps of the lakes I spotted no sizeable trout, all more or less the same size. Now I’ve stalked at Abington, and Chalk Springs and usually am able to spot fish, I may have missed the odd 7 - 10lb Trout but it seems improbable that I’d miss any about 4-5lb if they were in the water in quantity given I spotted many that on catching were about 3lb.
In summary - yes I had a good morning, yes I caught 4 good looking fully finned 3lb trout but saw nothing bigger, yes the member of staff was pleasant, yes the coffee was a nice gesture, yes the banks were well maintained and toilet clean etc but this has put me off going again, I do not feel its value for money but I am aware all small trout fisheries in the South East are dearer (other that Hazel Copse), so sadly it’s back to coarse fish and occasional trout trips when around Northamptonshire.
That’s my ten penny worth, too poor to Trout fish Sussex and Hampshire!!
翻译:我断断续续在这里钓鱼已有近 30 年了,当我第一次来这里钓鱼时,平均每袋鱼至少能钓到一条四五磅重的鱼,而当时的上限是五条,而且价格实惠。
时代在变,主人也在变,有几年,平均鱼量确实下降到了 2 磅左右。
自从现在的主人接手后,我无法接受这里的日票价格(四条鱼的票,一条鱼 17.50 英镑)与内陆水域相比是合理的,因此我不再去钓鱼了,失去了我热爱的这项运动。
所以今天我决定去尝试一下,我心里想,票价应该反映鱼的大小和质量。说实话,质量不错,但在湖里游了几圈后,我没有发现什么大鳟鱼,它们的大小都差不多。现在我已经在 Abington 和 Chalk Springs 跟踪过,通常都能发现鱼,我可能错过了一些 7-10 磅重的鳟鱼,但如果它们在水中数量很多,我不太可能错过任何 4-5 磅重的鳟鱼,因为我发现了许多在捕获时只有 3 磅重的鳟鱼。
总结一下 - 是的,我度过了一个美好的早晨,是的,我捕获了 4 条看起来不错的全鳍 3 磅重的鳟鱼,但没有看到更大的鳟鱼,是的,工作人员很友善,是的,咖啡是一种很好的姿态,是的,河岸维护得很好,厕所很干净等等,但这让我不想再去了,我觉得它不值得,但我知道东南部所有小型鳟鱼渔场的价格都更高(Hazel Copse 除外),所以很遗憾,在北安普敦郡附近,我又回到了粗鱼和偶尔的鳟鱼之旅。
这是我十便士的价值,太穷了,没钱在苏塞克斯和汉普郡钓鳟鱼!!
