It's not just me feeling the blues with the weather, right? Feeling stuck indoors and needing to get outside in nature before the weather really turns? Needing to enjoy those riverbank views on the Trent just a little longer?

If you have already fished with us previously, you want a freebie, with someTHING we don't usually offer, someWHERE we don't usually offer it - drop a comment with one of the following: a fish emoji 🐟, a catch picture from any of pegs, picture of your set up from any of our pegs OR a sunrise/sunset from our land.

I want to give you first refusal on my plan before I make it public knowledge!

Stuart got two stunning barbel on peg 20. First was 10lb 12oz and the second we don't have a weight for - his line ran whilst he was trying to eat his orange 🙈. Thank you for the pictures you've sent through.

There is another pile of logs that Mat has cut from a broken tree on the river bank - as always, please help yourself. If there are any people locally that could use them for log sheds ready for winter but can't collect, please let us know, we can deliver in one of the trucks or the trailer on the tractor.

Please note: pegs 7, 8 and 9 are out of action on the river for the next few days due to cracked willows. Willows are known for their soft and brittle bark so it is always a danger with windy days but Mat was on it bright and early this morning. Please make sure if you are walking dogs that you keep to the public footpath side instead of the bank side for the next couple of days.

A quick little update of what has been happening - Mat has built and installed a new section to stop cars driving down to the family and friends section. The gap is wider than the public footpath that runs over the private land so is still plenty accessible for mobility scooters, wheelchairs, pushchairs etc. We are struggling with some of the authorities for the gates that we wanted to stop the motorbikes and quads but it should stop the worries people had about cars driving down this section and churning it up when we get back to the sludgier parts of the year.

The breeding pond was dug out when the water was low... aaaand we underestimated it 🙈. So we've used the extra tonnes of mud that we had to raise the surround, built a fence around to protect it. Some more struts in the middle and covering to protect from the inevitable willow falls, and that will be complete too.

Our geese visitors have disappeared, the swans are still coming on the river and the lakes though.

We have lots of deer activity around the lakes on the wildlife cameras and seen in the evenings.

Harry, Max and Digby have been great helping hands over the last couple of weeks. Digby is currently working on his DofE award so being at land will count towards that too :).

And Mat went and landed himself a 16lb 8oz Trent carp once it had cooled down in the evening.

Another busy week down for us down at The Willows. Our Mat has done lots of maintenance, put in a new gate with an actual hold for keeping open, been trimming the trees above the higher river pegs for easier casting, more w**d removal and bank management etc.

Mat and Addison had a session on the river - Mat caught 11 barbel up to 12lb 8. Addison was targeting carp.

Paul is a bream angler and caught a stinking (that was stonking but autocorrect is not wrong) 59lb worth from Peg 20 today. Look at that smile!

The lake is really busy with activity, lots of carp around the islands (pegs 4-6).

We're loving the catch pictures you send in, keep them coming 🐟🎣

Great way to spend a Saturday. Thank you for sharing these pictures 🐟
