    RULES 23/24


    After conducting a series of hook and bait checks on our anglers, it seems that not everyone is deciding to follow the rules including some members!

    Makins Fishery has only ever allowed BARBLESS hooks to be used on the lakes, any kind of barbed hook is strictly banned. 

    Makins Fishery feed pellets ONLY to be used on this fishery (this includes PVA Bags), these can only be bought in our on-site tackle and bait shop in sizes 2mm/4mm/6mm/8mm. The pellet rule has been in place since Easter..

    We will now be performing DAILY hook and bait checks, anglers will receive ONE WARNING if they are not using makins fishery feed pellets. Repeat offenders will be banned, and if the offender is a member they will lose their membership.

    We don't have a lot of rules, but please follow the ones' we have please.


    Please report any suspicious behavior or concerns to our onsite Bailiffs or phone 07951436461 immediately. 


    Any further questions please call the office on 07951436461

    WE LOVE FISHING

    A BIT ABOUT US

    With over 600 swims to choose from, we can cater for both pleasure and match anglers alike. If one water is booked up for a scheduled event, we know for a fact that we can put a pleasure angler on to a water where they will have an equally enjoyable day. Matches are held every Wednesday and Thursday, and we are currently taking match bookings for the year ahead.


    While catching fish is an important part of any fishing trip, we recognize that the modern day angler wants more than just an arm aching spell of action. They require peaceful surroundings, well built and spaced pegs and friendly staff to approach with any queries they may have. We gladly supply all these added factors and aim to give all our visitors the complete package. Anglers willingly travel from as far away Newcastle and Exeter to visit our well maintained complex, and we aim to give every single one of them a memorable experience.


    So, what are you waiting for?


    Our FAQs should answer every query you could possibly have regarding Makins. If however, you still have a question, please feel free to call us on 07951436461and we will be happy to help you in any way possible.
