Foremark Reservoir

The second batch of car ID cards are now ready and there will be a day/date where you can collect them and get to know the lock system and the car parks, the day/date to be agreed and will be posted on here and FB. The second batch is the remainder of people who have applied to fish on Foremark as of Monday 1st of September, I am away from now so any more that apply after this date will have to wait until I return from Holiday. The sailing club have generously allowed access through their boat yard, hence the requirement for car ID, they don’t want just anyone down there, as cars hooking up boats on trailers and driving off has been experienced in the past.

There is always a reason for rules, we try and keep them to a minimum but it is getting harder to gain access to all waters as land owners do not need the hassle of people leaving gates open or getting stuck in fields or taking liberties with trust. so please bare with us, this is the first season on Foremark hopefully it is productive and the fishery will get better and better with time.

Therefore anyone who wants to be considered for fishing on the reservoir needs to email me on secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk with your name, membership number and vehicle registration number, these names will be added to log sheet and allocated car passes to allow them to fish at Foremark.

Branston Water Park

There is a temporary Bait Boat ban on Branston water park this to be monitored with the weed growth, any updates will be added to here.

Members who wish to renew their night permit, please email branstonwp@burtonmutual.co.uk unless you already have done, as the list is being compiled now.

This year is the first year that Branston Water Park has been treated with lake dye to reduce the weed growth, we expect a reduction this year but the water will be treated twice a year for the foreseeable future so we are hoping for good things.

This year we will be bringing the night permits into line with the membership in February 2026 so you will only pay pro-rata from June until then.
