Dean Barlow has pledged to make Todber Manor Fishery a regular port of call after bagging 100lb plus of carp, tench, F1s, and skimmers on his debut visit to the Dorset venue.

“What a fantastic fishery! The on-site tackle shop is one of the best I’ve ever seen, plus access to all the lakes is easy with parking right behind many swims”.

Dean alternated between the In-Line Flat Method Feeder, long pole and margin tactics with a combination of pellet, meat and Pop Ups on Hill View Lake.

“I found out they run open matches here every Saturday and I’ll definitely be booking onto some of those in the coming weeks and months,” added Dean.

In all, there are 11 coarse fishing lakes situated within the 125-acre Todber Manor estate. Eight self-catering cottages are bookable for holiday groups, with visiting caravan facilities also available. For more info on the venue visit www.todbermanor.co.uk
