General Comments:

First time to this new venue and have been very impressed, Gary the owner was very helpful but not in your face. Angeline, Gary’s partner and co-owner was on hand to make you feel welcome and as part of the food package we had our last evening meal and Saturday leaving breakfast, which were both excellent and would recommend anyone at least giving it a try. Some of the photos with 2 people in are because I was suffering with a bad back problem and had to be helped by my friends.

Common carp x 5 to 27.5lb
Grass carp x 3 to 26lb
