Contractors have now started on the site of the Solar Farm, therefore track access is now complicated, but access to the lakes is still possible, with care. Note though, that vehicle owners going to the lakes, do so at their own risk.
We have a vacancy for a member to join the GP Committee to help look after this complex on a semi-regular basis, nothing ‘set in stone’. If you feel you are that person, have some free time, and like the lakes, please get in touch with the Trustees and have a chat.
The blue container next to the ‘dipping tank’ which used to have the rules upon it, appears to be considered by some anglers/members of the public as a ‘rubbish bin’. Please ensure that you take home all your used items (plastic/paper/cans) etc. and do NOT use it as a rubbish dump. If seeing someone else […]
Instances are being reported of litter being left at Villa Park Farm and Laybourne Lakes. All anglers should remove any litter when the leave the fisheries.

The G.P.C. have considered the cost of repairing and maintaining the toilet, and due to the expense of repair, it is not currently on the “to do” list.
Having had a certain amount of re-stocking of a variety of fish, reports of catches are very encouraging. The pegging has been reduced to 30, why not ‘give it go’ and treat yourself to a reasonable day’s fishing. Any carp caught should be returned to Potter’s Pool.
As part of the club’s commitment of providing well stocked waters at a bargain price we have introduced into the Laybourne Complex the following fish. 1500 Roach up to 12 oz approx. 300 lb. 500 Bream up to 1 lb approx. 100lb. 100 Tench and around 100lb of Carp are to be stocked over the […]
