    The fishery here used to be my favourite pool I would come here with my grandad and have very fond memories, I haven’t been for about 3 years. Recently I have started fishing again and I have returned to my once favorite pool, unfortunately it is now ran by a really rude woman who doesn’t seem to have the foggiest clue about fish, after fighting quite a large strong fish( which hadn’t even surfaced yet) she started to walk over and started yelling that we have had the fish going for too long and that we should have let it snap us and be stuck with a hook in its mouth rather than us catch it and take out the hook. After we had released it she was claiming it cost her 1000 pound and that it was going to die now because we had taken too long to catch the fish and continued to argue and wouldn’t listen at all to the point we decided to leave. Now I won’t be able to return to one of my favourite fishing spots without fear of a confrontation or even being banned, just because she didn’t understand and wouldn’t listen that we couldn’t get the fish to surface and was trying to release the fish as soon as we could net it. I’m completely gob smacked at how rude she was and how unwilling she was to listen. Seems as though she just has a problem with people catching fish

    Had an amazing experience yesterday at Otherton Airfield. Decided to have a spare of the moment microlite experience. I can honestly say it's one of best things I've ever done. Terry (the pilot) was brilliant and made me feel comfortable and safe from the second the experience started. I'll definitely be back soon for the hour experience and head towards Wales. I only wish I'd have had a go at flying when the chance was offered. Maybe next time 😀
