There will be some disruption and noise around the top and middle pools and some pegs will be closed on the dam wall between top and middle pools over the coming months, as ground works are required that could not be done during the bad weather this winter, we apologise for the inconvenience. Many thanks for your patience.

*MEMBERSHIPS*
All new members please read the general club rules on the website before starting to fish, but also visit the water page that you want to fish and read the write up as there may be more specific water rules on that page, also read the local water rules which are on notice boards at the venues.
If you are an existing Night permit Member please email in to secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk with the title “existing night permit” and you will get priority for the coming season, (I will check against the list). If you would like a Branston Night permit please email in to the same address with the title “New night Permit” and your name and membership number, and if any permit holders drop out, a random draw will be held to fill the available spaces, I will inform you if you are successful or not.
Would members fishing the Dove at Marston lane please use the river bank as access to the river and not walk along the side or through the crop fields to short cut to the river, the land owner is getting angry and will lock off the car park if it carries on.
