Hi,
Thank you for getting in touch and for expressing interest
in joining Wingham Fisheries. Our new Winter Predator ticket has been initiated
so that more people can enjoy the wonderful array of pike and perch that we
have in our Main Lake. We are working alongside the PAC to expand the
opportunities available to their members.
The Main Lake is 40 acres and is predominantly used for a carp
fishery, housing around 55 large carp with the largest exceeding 60lb. This low
stock density allows for other species to flourish and the pike being one of
them. See attached a Pike over 23lb and a Perch over 3lb. There's certainly
bigger of both in the lake.
We have a couple of PAC members currently on board and would
like to invite a handful more. The winter months are quiet for carp so there's
is plenty of space to enjoy and relax in. Our lake has over 40 swims and on a
busy day in the spring or summer we might get 12 on the banks. This is
purposeful so that our fishery is always peaceful and our members are purely
members to enjoy the serenity (and to catch a good fish). Wingham Fisheries is
renowned for its environment and members pay for the privilege.
Members are vetted to ensure that we avoid becoming a rowdy
commercial water, and we must keep it this way. Any disruption or breaking of
the rules and an immediate ban will be implemented. By working closely with the
PAC we can make sure new Predator ticket members will be a good fit and we
can't wait to see friendly faces on the banks soon.
The ticket that we have created will be offered to a maximum
of 15 people to begin with and will be £180 for the 4 month winter period. This
runs from 14th November to the 15th March. During this time you may fish for a
maximum of 18 nights and only carry out 4 nights in 14. These are the same
rules all our current members follow so we will keep it the same. It ensures
low angling pressure and is a main factor in our fish growing to a large size.
A full copy of the rules and principles are attached and we support all PAC
advice and information on their website.
If you are interested in joining please let me know and
we'll speak on the phone. There's an additional one-off joining fee of £45
(which we have significantly reduced for this ticket, usually £290).
Please fill in a membership form and we can get you signed
up asap.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
