Tees Valley Lakes, Urlay Nook Road, 8th March 2013
Taking advantage of a Friday off work I decided to try a new local venue, Yarm Fishery, also know as Yarm Lake run by Tees Valley Lakes. Yarm Fishery has been totally revamped by Alfy and the team at Tees Valley Lakes and what a great job they have done! The pegs are neat and tidy and the lake is protected by an electrified otter fence which makes shipping your pole back a small challenge. Tees Valley Lakes first came to my attention about 18 months ago, they have since increased the fish stock levels substantially with some small carp, roach and tench adding to the existing stock of fish. I arrived around 8am, the weather was overcast, cold and a light drizzle of rain. John, a member of Anglers Cabin was already there when I arrived.
