From Crooklands fishery is 200 yards on right before A6. An old gravel pit, it is generally deepish and very clear and is about 7 acres and stocked with Rainbow Trout to double figures. Catch and release is allowed here. Generally a floating line and slow retrieve works best and if there is a breeze let your flies swing around on the breeze. Static buzzer does very well here and start at about 4' but be prepared to go to 8' to 12' on sunny days.
Bites tend to be very quick so good reactions are needed.
Intermediate lines and lures, particularly fritz based ones like the menace variant are very good as are damsel fly nymphs. Search the water using the countdown method and alter retrieve styles and speed until you find what they want. Often fish will take after a slow figure of eight retrieve followed by fishing on 'the hang'. Index Copyright Carlsons.co.uk 2000.
