Foremark Reservoir
We are now close to opening up Foremark Reservoir to our members, as part of the agreement we will have a staged opening up of the water, this due to the water being vastly overgrown, and at the moment less than 10 pegs are available to get to the water, therefore we will be allowing 20 members the opportunity to be the first stage of using the water, only small amounts of bankside work are available to us until September, mowing paths and small amounts of trimming, so once we can get on there for proper work parties we can open up more. The agreement also states that all vehicles parked by anglers on the reservoir must display a vehicle and member identification badge in the car windscreen, this is so the sailing club know who has cars in there so they know its no one hitching up a boat and driving off.
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 put in the hat for a random draw of the first 20 members who can fish there, the draw will be filmed so that every can see it is fair. No vehicle registration number no draw.
The draw is for adult members only no juniors at this time, and there will be no night fishing, no guest tickets and no matches. as said previously we will open it up more when we have done some work parties so the names who have been sent in will remain on the list for the next draw.
so to register, email in and don’t forget vehicle registration.

No fish to be kept in a keepnet for more than 5hrs you MUST empty your nets after 5hrs.
Please make sure all the rings on your keepnets are submerged under the water do not have any sections of the keepnet above the water.
Night Permits
If you have not received your Night Permit renewal email, please email secretary@burtonmutual.co.uk with the title/heading “NIGHT PERMIT”, I will take a look and see what has gone wrong.
Secretary
Please be aware there will be some work being carried out around the top pool on Friday 25th April.
This will mainly be around the field side of the lake and pegs 8,9,10,11 and 12 will be closed to anglers on Friday 25TH April, it may also affect other pegs on the lake too, please consider this when choosing your peg for the day.
Thanks for your understanding
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.
