Reminder to all we will be open every day off the bank holiday weekend
Today we graded out all our fish in the stock pond well over half of this have been stocked in today all weighing between 4-8lb including some lovely blues rainbows , golden and spartics, hopefully if we continue to get these good growth rates will have lots of doubles going when we next grade these out
We also had another stocking from Exmoor today of rainbows and blues
... (we have been told by few anglers they have been told by the same source we are going to change to a coarse fishery I would personally like to clear it up that I have no plans to change and I will continue as fly fishery for as long as I’m running the lakes ,Duane )

We took the children aged 7 and 9 to teach them how to trout fish. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and encouraging. The cheese burgers were great and we caught loads. A wonderful family day out. Thoroughly recommend it.
Very friendly and helpful. The bacon sandwiches smelled amazing as well!
Thanks for excellent Friday. My friend caught two trout on flies in first time in his life and he was very excited. Thank you for taste breakfast. See you soon again.
Lovely setting with great fighting fish what more can you ask for. will be visiting again soon
Great place to fish, friendly atmosphere and easy access. Good shop and facilities.
Great lakes good fishing well looked after well worth a go
Great day fishing, friendly staff, 10 good fighting rainbow trout caught, green damsel seemed to do the trick, thank you
First visit to Woolaston, it was great. Beautiful surroundings and the 1 fish I had fought really well. Only fished the top lake because I'm a bit of a newbie at this but will definitely be making regular visits.
First time fishing here yesterday and we had a great day. They were extremely helpful. We were catching all day on a variety of flies. Very healthy, hard fighting fish. Had a mix of golden, rainbows and a brownie. Will definitely be coming back.
First time at the fishery this morning
The fishery manager was very helpful loads of fish in the lake he told us but hard to catch
I filled my bag with 25lbs in weight
What a great place can't wait to go again
Thank you all at woolaston fishery
See you soon

Brilliant day day today caught 70 fish before one o clock and every fish fought just as hard as the last , credit to woolaston trout fishery
Beautiful place. A lovely place to spend a day fishing.
Amazing place grounds are kept really nice plenty of parking 3 Great Lakes and the staff are brilliant I took my 4 year old brother he caught his first trout on the fly, and the fish are in very very good condition. I would recommend this place to anybody 100% going back.
Absoloutly cracking place to fish, brilliant views and the fish fight like they are on steriods! The guys who run the place are brilliant and try to help out with anything from gear to tips on where to catch on the lakes, recommend to anyone beginner or expert!
A great venue with varied tactics working, unlike many small waters where one method stands out a mile. Can't wait to get back there! (Y)
25 fish caught today cracking day fair play all on a variety of flies red flash damsels and gold head daddys working well�����
