Funny enough I was there yesterday myself but I was one of the ones making all the noise:o
Didn't think it was that close, must check it out as all feedback has been positive so far.

Fished here yesterday, had a cracking day with over 50 rainbows. Best was about 7 but lost a fish into double figures. Stuck with buzzers all day. Have to say this is an excellent fishery, nice setting, sound owner and the fish are the best I've seen. They fight like tuna, the vast majority of fish in there are triploid and pure silver, they are very similar to the fish you get over in the UK on Rutland and fight just as hard. Will be heading down there again very soon..........

is there a bag limit or is it catch and release?

Its catch and release with barbless hooks

All trout fishing should be catch & release..for obvious reasons..

"Why fish barbless in the first place"? For starters, it’s easier on the fish. Assuming you’re practicing catch and release, backing a barbless hook out of a trout's mouth is far less harmful than the tearing of mouth and jaw tissue which commonly occurs when using barbed hooks. Furthermore, since hook removal is so much easier with barbless hooks, it requires that much less handling of the fish and can often be accomplished without removing the fish from the water. The cumulative effect is better survival rates for trout and other species of fish.
Many anglers feel they will lose too many fish by going barbless, and this may well be true. But look at it this way…you’re doing the fish a big favor. If you need to harm a fish in order to catch it, maybe you need to work on your hooking and playing skills.
