hi could u p.lease tell me the prices for a day ticket to fish the new pond in bepton thanks if u could drop me a email with prices and could u also tell me if u allow night fishing on any of u ponds on a day ticket. thanks
Phil:
New Pond is not available to fish on a day ticket and is therefore members only…
Rotherfield Pond is available on a day ticket but if you were to fish a night you would need to buy two tickets : one for each day that you are there….
Hello, i am keen to fish Rotherfield pond tomorrow (2.3.10) can you give me up to date info about weed and fishing areas. Is it too weedy to fish ? What fish are being caught ?
Many thanks

All I can tell you is that weed shouldn’t be a problem Mark…..
I walked around there yesterday afternoon and although there wasn’t anyone fishing there seems to be a bit more colour in the water and there were fish topping. I would say that yourbest bet would be to fish somewhere between pegs 4/5 and peg 12 along the wide bank….
Let us all know how you get on, Tight Lines
