Some interesting facts about the 2008 season:

• First fish caught on the last day of April, although fish were hooked and lost earlier.

• Largest salmon - 16lbs 8oz.  Largest sea trout - 13lbs 4oz.

• Most fish caught on one day : 12

The COMBO Rod introduced in 2008 proves popular:

A combination of Trout and Salmon fishing on a fortnightly basis on a named day of the week.

The Combo Rod gives a total of: 6 days trout fishing - with 2 guest tickets and 6 days salmon fishing - with 6 guest tickets.

Starting in April you alternate between a days Salmon fishing for 2 people on a salmon beat with your next visit being a days Trout fishing on the trout water.

Refurbishment of old Mill Building:

2008 saw the start of the long needed refurbishment of the last mill building at Gaters Mill.  The building was derelict and at the point of collapsing in on itself with rotten floors and supporting beams, a failing roof structure and crumbling brickwork.

The mill building forms part of the entrance to the fishery and its refurbishment will greatly enhance the mill complex.

The project is to completely restore the building, which is believed to be the oldest of all the mill buildings on the site, to provide top quality office accommodation on three floors and giving just over 2,300 sq ft of usable space.  Great care has been taken to retain as many of the original features as possible with exposed brick walls and timber beams.  The repair of the structure of the building has now been completed with a new roof, new floors, new windows and repaired brickwork.

The office space will be available to lease and anyone interested should, in the first instance, contact Lyndsey Farmiloe on 07885 175540.
