Blyton ponds

[blademanx]

Just had a great weekend here with my other arf.
Stayed in one of the chalets on site.
£135 for weekend and £15 for three days fishing. Two of the ponds are for residents only and are well stocked and maintained.
Caught wide variety of fish including big barbel ( in great condition) chub to 4lb. Ghosties,bream, fantails, koi and big roach.
Hard pellet and worm were only baits used.
Angela does a cracking breakfast and snacks are available throughout the day.
Great pub around the corner ( The Black Horse) serving great evening meals and Blyton ice cream parlour across the road.
Well worth a visit in my opinion.
Great hosts and great varied fishing

Have stayed here many times for our fishing weekends early September.Unfortunately our last visit three years ago the fishing was really poor.
Pond d was gin clear and the weights were shocking.
The place is nice enough.good breakfast,nice accommodation,nice to hear that the fishing has picked up.

Hi gavstar.
Yes, the fishing has certainly picked up.
Pond D has got some colour to it.
It's not an out and out bagging venue but a fishery where you dont know what you're going to catch next.
I had a good barbel fishing 12inch deep on banded pellet! !!
Pond C has been affected by khv but is now back fishing well again.
They supply landing nets on C and all other ponds have net dips.
Off there again in couple of weeks for weekend

Just back from another fantastic weekend at Blyton.
Fishing today on Pond A has been great.
15 good carp to 12lb on 8mm pellet shallow and bonus chub of around 3lb.
Quality full english from on-site cafe again.
Managed a few hours yesterday before heavens opened topped with a silver and orange koi around 5lb.
Can't wait to go again!!

Sad to hear that Angela and Nigel are putting Blyton up for sale
Great memories of this place and perfect hosts. Will miss them both and wish them all the best for whatever the future holds. For anyone who hasn't been this place is a hidden gem and well worth a weekend stay
