Last Chance to fish the Willows

This Sunday 29th September may be the last opportunity to Fish the willows for quite a while.

With match bookings for other venues filling up the 2020 diary, we may not be fishing here next year.

Love or hate the Willows, it can’t be denied that it is a “big fish” venue, so this Sunday could be an opportunity for 100lb+ day.

Directions for anyone that needs them are:-

Postcode for the Sat Nav is ST19 5QJ (Bickford, Penkridge,)

  1. As you come into Penkridge on the A449 from Stafford you will see a black & white Tudor style pub (The White Hart) on the left – turn right into Pinfold lane.
  2. Go under the railway bridge, round over the river bridge and keep following the winding road for maybe a couple of miles up to the swan pub (on your right)
  3. Just past the swan pub turn left, follow winding lane carefully for about half to two thirds of a mile
  4. The fishery is on your right. The entrance is a simple farm gate immediately after Bank House farm Kennels
