Important notice! I have just been called to Longbottoms to move on a pair of Eastern European gentlemen who had turned up with No net, and just a telescopic rod. They had actually told someone down there they intended to catch a fish to put in there bag and take home!!! Suffice to say they haven't and won't be, if you see anything suspicious or you think that something isn't right then don't hesitate to contact Mick Batley for Longbottoms or Colin Newby and Paul Hall for Mann Dam immediately either through this page, their personal one or by phone on 07541921755. If for any reason you can't reach any of the above you may challenge them to produce a book and the relevant equipment such as nets etc if they cannot do so then you may ask them to leave! I should also stress if you feel that you are at risk if you do so then instead contact West Yorkshire Police

The sun has definitely got them all moving, Tench, Orfe, Carp and loads of Silvers out today!

A couple of days of hot weather and something I have never seen before has happened at Longbottoms! The Ide are actually spawning, I have never seen them do it before but there is no mistaking it!

Phil's been putting in the evenings this week to try and get a fish or two and it's paid off after he rang me to photo this 14lb 2oz Common tonight. Good result pal 👍

2 fish in 20 minutes this morning for Chris, conditions are definitely on the up 👌

Phil nabbed this chunky double off the top Saturday afternoon at Longys 👌

IMPORTANT: Please can people not attempt to park or turn there vehicle in the bottom gate at Longbottoms! There is presently a car stuck there due to the very soft nature of the ground after all the rainfall we have experienced. Thanks

People have asked do we still have big ide in Longbottoms and the answer is most definitely

First surface caught carp of the year at Longbottoms this Stocky for Dan this morning

Meanwhile at Longbottoms how's this for a Roach for Peter not far off that magic 2lb mark

Colin always seems to catch a fee at Mann Dam and it seems it runs in the family!

It's a bit damp at Longbottoms

This lovely looking linear nearly took my rod in late one summer evening down at longbottoms in 2017. He might be small but he was an angry one

They all count 😁 in horrendous wind I bagged this early one morning. A lovely little stockie from longbottoms bk in 2016 or early 2017. Hopefully he's been feeding like me 😂😂 and we will meet again soon
