Great Oakley Fisheries will be opening to the CAPS Members from Wednesday 1st October 2008.

The fishery is comprised of Three Waters

Specimen Lake – Approximately 2 ½ acres 20 swims,
Match Lake - Approximately 2 acres with 30 swims
Top Lake – Approximately 3 ½ acres 12 swims “Runs Water”

There are "Site Specific" rules that must be adherred to.

This water will be a "Dawn to Dusk" fishery until 1st April 2009 when Night Fishing will be allowed on a "Permit Only" basis and you will be able to purchase these from specific local agents (Details to Follow). One of the additional rules, will be that you have to "Sign In" at the bailiff hut when Night Fishing as the Landowner has been plagued by our Carp Munching Friends, that like to visit during the night.

You can find this water by driving down the A120 to the Horsley Cross Roundabout, then take the 2nd on the right, then turn left, then left again and the fishery is at the other end of Great Oakley Village on the left hand side.

Look Out For The Following Sign........

Please Note

It would seem that the Spell Checker does not understand that Preservation has an A in it or that Wild Fowl is not spelt Wild "FoUl, the fella must be an ArsenUl supporter!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new "Site Specific" Rules can be found in the main Car Park, next to Reg Upsher (CAPS Estates Officer).

Apparently the Swans are "Family Pets" (hence the rule re-wildlife) and are on the water during the day, then trudge up the hill, cygnets and all and are then hand fed at the house in the evening.
