Broad Acres installs lakeside Anglers’ Pods

Worcestershire’s Broad Acres Fishery has installed four timber Anglers’ Pods on Main Lake to provide day and night ticket anglers with accommodation which is more luxurious than standard bivvies.

Ideal for individual anglers, couples or families, the pods are set slightly back from the waters edge and are available for hire at an introductory cost of £30.00. The pods are available from 11.00am until 10.00am the following day.

The pods are the latest in a series of improvements which have been carried out at Broad Acres Fishery. Following the success of recent trial night fishing sessions at Broad Acres, the fishery is now taking bookings for sessions at a cost of £20.00. Anglers need to book in advance and can do so by telephoning 07866 721141 during normal hours or 07510 697224 after 5.30pm.

The fishery has also introduced mid-week one-to-one fishing tuition for new, novice and experienced anglers. The two hour sessions cost £10.00 for juniors under 16 and £20.00 for adults plus the cost of the day ticket. Tackle and bait will be provided for anglers who have not fished before although existing anglers should bring their own tackle and the bait they wish to use. Phone Pete Rice on 07510 697224 or Mandy Morgan on 07866 721141 for further information or to book.

am living testimony that buying secondhand stuff can be a way of life. On most days lately the only item of my clothing that didn’t come from a charity shop is my underpants. The same is also true about my fishing tackle. The set-up in the photo is my usual river gear. The box is secondhand, as are the two 13’ Acolyte rods, the 17’ Acolyte rod, all three closed face reels and the pole spray bar. By going into these transactions with your eyes wide open and with a little bit of understanding we can all buy ‘champagne’ tackle for beer money prices. Go on, give it a go.

What happens to fish in severe floods?

The recent extreme floods will have led many anglers to wonder what lasting effects such dramatic events have on fish. Fishery Management Consultant Dr Bruno Broughton explains what goes on.
Many anglers will own a variety of reels throughout their fishing life. Others will stick to their favourite for many years, preferring the familiarity of an old friend. This is a small example of the reels that I own (and these are just a few of the ones that are not actually attached to rods) and their variety can be quite daunting when taken as a whole. Hopefully you will read all of this article and feel a little more informed … Or… in the immortal words of Maggie Thatcher “where there was darkness may there be light” or something similar.
