After nearly 7 years running AKC, sadly Clint made the decision in December to relinquish his lease at the shop to pursue other interests. His last day of trading was Friday 26 January. The fishery is already negotiating with other potential leaseholders to take on the running of the tackle shop at Cottington and we…
Unfortunately, due to ever increasing financial pressures, we have had no option but to revise the cost of some of our tickets. We recognise that any change in the current financial climate will be unwelcome and have tried to keep them to the absolute minimum. Ticket prices for the general coarse lakes remain unchanged, but…
Jerry Kemp proudly presenting his new Lake Christine record: Fishing from peg 1, first cast of the session, first in the group to catch and coming out at 40lbs on the nose: And the technique that landed Jerry the record – a simple bottom rig, a size 8 wide gape hook baited with CC Moore…

After what has been a very wet October, the weekend (despite still being wet!!) brought some joy for Mitchell Mace who landed a new pb.

The Memorial Match is an annual event in the Cottington Calendar and arguably one of its most important, commemorating bailiff Dave Wall, who sadly passed away 10 years ago. This years event saw a slight change in format (due to the Covid restrictions and social distancing measures), but was no less competitive for it. An…
Its been a long time coming, but at last anglers are back on the banks at Cottington and we’re able to start publishing some of the fish that have been landed, rather than Covid updates. And one of the first to take advantage of the eased lockdown measures and get back onto the specimen lakes…

Covid 19 – Update 2 Dear Anglers, Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on the 10th May that some restrictions are being eased, including access to some sports, there has been much speculation that this could include fishing.
