Ricky Kilby - 2010 = 3 cats in 3 hours. All different fish.
  
The cats are growing and breeding like crazy in the Major Bill. Theres so many of them now its quite amazing. They range from small boot laces obviously right up to late 60's as recorded below by Steve Cook from Essex. British record was 62lbs. Unfortunately for Steve the record was withdrawn some time ago. Our fish is 100% home grown!

We believe the Major Bill to be THE best Cat fish pool in the Uk. Thats our opinion which is shared by guests and members who enjoy this beautiful lake.
Presently there are 39 members who can fish the Major Bill pool. There is a long waiting list which is to be expected. With subscriptions reasonably priced very few members drop out. If they do its a real problem to get back in! That said its predominated aimed at weekly residents who stay in our accomodation.
If youre interested in fishing the Major Bill then the very easiest way to do it is come on a weeks holiday. We charge just £50 for a double ticket for the week.
The waiting list for membership is quite considerable and refreshed once a year. Its appropriate to outline that anglers not known to us wont be considered. You must be known to us to at least get on the waiting list. Even then you could be in for a wait.
If youre coming on holiday and want to know how its fishing or the rigs to use, call the tackle shop on 01568760544
Tight lines!
