Catfish/Marsh Lake

The time has finally arrived, we officially open the long awaited Catfish lake from the 16th April 2021. During the closed period we have had a couple of trial nights to check the catch rates and have been impressed to say the least, with cats to mid 30lb coming out on a few occasions. With the catfish being one of the main species we have put a running rig set up rule in place, this is a far better and safer way to fish for the catfish. With 20 or so catfish to 46lb and more to come in the near future, we are sure this lake is going to be very popular.
