Thanks Chris - glad you appreciated not only the fishing but the wildlife and the secluded surroundings.

Many thanks for your comments and we hope you will return soon. The three lakes located in the natural wooded valley were formed by damming the stream. The soil structure in this valley is a wet running sandstone lying upon a clay layer and bank erosion is a constant problem. Over the last few years we have been replacing the platforms with sturdy steel structures topped with concrete slabs or timbers encased in a wooden surround. These newer platforms are relatively easy to repair and we usually address such repairs together with complete rebuilds once winter has fully passed and ground conditions become more stable. So expect some improvements in the next couple of months.
