Thursland Hill Farm Fishery CL

This site is a little gem. The host Donny was brilliant from the first contact. He explained everything in a message once the booking was confirmed. The pitches are spread over 2 small fields, both of which have lovely views. The facilities are very modern, just like home. The electronic gate as you enter the site is a bonus, knowing that you are very safe. There are plenty of walks from the site, but it's so nice you don't need to go anywhere if you don't want to. It is a really peaceful site which is what we were looking for. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent CL with fishing ponds. First about the CL itself. Run by Donny and nothing is too much trouble. Two fields and an annexe make up the pitches and you can get positioned quite easily and level by minimal use of chocks. One field gives uninterrupted views of the larger of the two ponds. Toilet and shower facilities are in a breeze block building and kept really clean and tidy. Chemical waste disposal is at the right height and easy to use. Recycling facilities available. Donny and family will also deliver a delicious Indian vegetarian meal to your unit. Plenty to do and see in the area including:- Cockeram sands Morecambe Lancaster Garstang Lancaster Canal Marinas Now for the fishing The smaller pond is under renovation at the moment so cannot comment The larger pond is rectangular in shape with promontory of land making the fish able area a horse shoe shape. The promontory is mown and can be accessed however the pegs are none existent and need clearing of growth In general the pegs around the outside of the horse shoe are well defined but some do need work to remove growth The fish seem to be very small annoying tiddlers and 10lb plus hard fighting carp. I didn’t see or catch any roach / bream / perch etc Tactics difficult to establish as for the first couple of days there was no response to feeder, PVA parcels, PVA bags filled with pellets though the pellets did work on the last day of fishing as the water cooled down. What did produce 3 stonkingly large 10lb plus fish in excellent condition was dog biscuits dropped in the margins of pegs 10 / 11 then. Bakers dog meat cube free line drifted into the bulrush either side. Explosive takes from lethargic feeding laid back fish and expect a long hard fight. Fantastic sport Excellent stay. Excellent people, hard but rewarding carp fishing Many thanks to Donny and family

Best CL on the planet. Beautiful countryside and coastline within walking distance. The best hosts too. Not a lot for kids to do so makes it very quiet for adults. We stay there pretty regularly.

Lovely stay yet again. The family offer you an authentic Indian meal with desert for £15.00 per person on a Saturday and it was lovely! Fishing a plus for our better halves! Ground can be boggy though after a lot of rain.
