The fishery is stocked with rainbow trout from 2 lbs upwards with the fishery record being 25lb 12oz  There are three lakes of 14 acres, 5 acres and 2 acres, each stocked with these high quality fish. Set in open parkland the fishery offers easy access to over 95% of the available bank space without any major obstacles to casting. Access for disabled persons is available, with assistance on hand if required.

New (2008) fishery record fish of 25lb 12oz was caught by Andy Reeves of Crook on a black and green tadpole

Natural fly life is prolific with hatches of Pond Olives, Lake Olives, Mayflies, Great Red Sedges, smaller Sedges, Buzzers and Damsel flies. Although lures are successful early and late in the season, artificial patterns representing the natural insects are the most predominant catchers of fish. Successful patterns are: Pheasant Tail Nymph, GRHE, Buzzers (various colours), Damsel nymphs and Daddies. Dawson’s Olive, Montana, Cat's Whisker and Fritz patterns are the most popular lures.
