A telehandler, and the pursuit of Walter

If you'd been with us the last two weeks, you might have been suprised by the effect which the sunshine had on us.
The slightest rays of sun creeping over the horizon brought the sound of an engine rumbling, and then anglers looking at the top of the tree line looking slightly bewildered.
We're working on the new brochure you see, and Dad and I had a plan for the new front cover that meant getting a sort of arial shot using the telehandler.
We've also expanded it to be a booklet format with alot more space for infomation and photos.

If you've got any cracking photos of the Park, your catches, or something you think should be in our new brochure email me at: lonspark@aol.com




Dad has finally caught from the Willows with a fish at 24lb from the Willows. Whilst this was a nice fish Dad is in pursuit of 'Walter' (Those of you who have seen the film 'On Golden Pond' will recognise the name, and for those who haven't I recommend it it's a great film)
Dad saw Walter basking in the sun the other day, and says he has never seen a fish so broad!
There's only a small head of fish in both waters, and there's alot of natural feed in the water, so they are quite hard fishing at the minute. The Willows and the Secret Pool are fished by invitation only.
