user reviews

"tench love luncheon meat and corn here "

"Having fished this peaceful fishery, I found Tench and carp had a taste for luncheon meat and sweet corn. The larger bottom pond at Broomham holds the better fish. Swims are limited as is parking within a thin lane. A
lovely picturesque water..".
