| Description: A super exciting venue which offers big weights!
Hallcroft has a reputation as one of the best fisheries in the country, and deservedly so! This was the venue where Fish'O'Mania was born, with the live Sky TV cameras on the bank. For many people, fishing at Hallcroft would have been many peoples first experiece of what would become of fishing commercial venues. A lot has changed from then, lots of great memories and big match wins have taken place around these banks. River Ponds (formerly Stock Ponds). These are for pleasure anglers only and are very popular with children and novices due to their high stock levels and ease of fishing. |
