The recently constructed barn is for the rearing and growing on of the fingerlings.

Set in scenic open pastoral countryside, the seclusion and quiet nature of the fishery makes it an attractive venue for a variety of bird life. It consists of a well stocked (from 2lb upwards) five-acre lake with depths varying from 3.5 – 5.5 meters with deeper ruts throughout down to 8 meters. Fed by spring water, the lake has grass banks featuring 22 casting platforms and a small island.
