We got chatting and he liked what I was doing with Reels on Wheels and our friendship grew from there.

The guys who use the Birch are the nicest people I have ever met….always willing to help out with anything I am doing down that way and to make sure I get to a swim ok with all my gear.

I love to fish the Birch…it’s very exposed but holds some fantastic fish that are cared for. I have had a couple of nice fish out of there including a nice 19lb + simmo and the last fish I had was a 23lb common.

I took my wife there for some Pike fishing as she had never tried for Pike…her first ever Pike below weighed in at 14lb+

Martin also has a couple of smaller lakes there for day fishing and they all contain carp up to about 20lb plus barbel, bream and F1’s, the sport can be hot on the day waters…I had 48lb of fish in 2hrs just messing about now I know that wont happen all the time but it is a great place to have some fun.

There is also the Lodge where you can get a fantastic breakfast and cups of hot steaming tea if its wet and windy outside.

So if your ever down in South Wales go check out the place….
