Re: Estate lakes
Yes. our club estate lake's not bad, 7 acres with a couple of islands designed by old Capability himself - the old house is now a 'posh' hotel.

Re: Estate lakes
They look really lovely.
I yearn for a beautiful estate lake to fish. I used to fish a small one at Adlestrop but it has tragically succumbed to otters, silting and was hit hard by flooding.
In its better days.

Re: Estate lakes
Yes they are both wonderful places. Were you part of the Bailey / Harper syndicate who used to fish Sennowe? I know it was fairly exclusive & I've heard that lot of the older fish have died since then. Blickling has also had problems with arguements between carp anglers and other anglers. Just a shame as I would have loved to fish them now.T31000 wrote:hello all,

To enjoy our sport as it should be enjoyed, our surroundings must be beautiful, for your true angler enjoys nature as much as he enjoys fishing. "BB"
