Foremark Reservoir
We have now filled the allocation of members required to fish on Foremark Reservoir, no more names will be taken until next year when we will assess numbers and open up again if required.
There will be a hand out of the final Foremark car passes the weekend of Sunday 16th November between 9:00am and 11:00am at the fishing lodge gates of Foremark reservoir, this will include an induction into using the locking system and where car parks and accesses are. So if you have been asking about your car pass then this is the opportunity to collect it and do the induction.
There is always a reason for rules, we try and keep them to a minimum but it is getting harder to gain access to all waters as land owners do not need the hassle of people leaving gates open or getting stuck in fields or taking liberties with trust. so please bare with us, this is the first season on Foremark hopefully it is productive and the fishery will get better and better with time.
Therefore anyone who wants to be considered for fishing on the reservoir needs to email me on secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk with your name, membership number and vehicle registration number, these names will be added to log sheet and allocated car passes to allow them to fish at Foremark.
Secretary
No Carp are allowed in keepnets on any of our waters at any time, except in specially arranged Club matches, where they will need to be below 10lb and a maximum of 50lb in any one net.
When using a keepnet on any of our waters please do not put any more than 50lb of fish in one keepnet, also no fish bigger than 5lb to be put in a keepnet at this time of year any fish 5lb or above must be returned straight back to the water.
No fish to be kept in a keepnet for more than 5hrs you MUST empty your nets after 5hrs.
Please make sure all the rings on your keepnets are submerged under the water do not have any sections of the keepnet above the water.
Branston Water Park
There is a temporary Bait Boat ban on Branston water park this to be monitored with the weed growth, any updates will be added to here.
Members who wish to renew their night permit, please email branstonwp@burtonmutual.co.uk unless you already have done, as the list is being compiled now.
This year is the first year that Branston Water Park has been treated with lake dye to reduce the weed growth, we expect a reduction this year but the water will be treated twice a year for the foreseeable future so we are hoping for good things.
This year we will be bringing the night permits into line with the membership in February 2026 so you will only pay pro-rata from June until then.
