Fishing Seven Lakes is a real pleasure with it’s idyllic setting that makes you feel like you are in the grounds of a stately home! Certainly a challenging but fun day on lake 6 and I will return time and time again.
Who would of thought that such a wonderful picturesque fishery was on our doorstep!?
