New fish day! On Saturday 27th Jan 2024 we had the pleasure in stocking this beautiful 30lb 6oz Mirror into Nutsey. The fish is from VS Fisheries so of the highest quality and health.
Nutsey As requested, we have improvement work going on at Nutsey from 8th Jan for 3 weeks. This involves swims, track and the silt bag areas. You can still fish and have access, but should any of our staff request you to move them please do so for your own safety. Thanks, The Committee
