This complex is owned solely by the Club and, as such, is seen as our flagship.
Brief description of fishery:
Clive’s Cutt – night fishing allowed, see Clive’s Cutt page for details
Clive’s Cutt opened in 2022 and is being developed as a specimen carp water together with some fine tench specimens. The pond has been named ‘Clive’s Cutt’ in memory of Clive Boulton, our once long serving chairman who sadly passed away in February 2022. There are 9 pegs in total and each is fished strictly by booking only. Because of the nature of the water, there is an additional charge to fish this pond.
The fish in this pond are perfect in every way and it is our intention to maintain this standard. There are several bailiffs who monitor activities on this pond and our sponsor, Eyewatch Security, carry out regular checks during the night. Also, be aware that CCTV with 24hr recording has been installed around this complex.
Anglers must adhere to these rules. Failure to do so will result in Bailiffs requesting anglers to cease fishing until the failure is rectified to the satisfaction of the Bailiff.
