studying plans of where the lakes will be
We have known and worked with Bruno for over 15 years at both our ‘Lowfields’ and ‘Highfields’ fisheries. He has had a great deal of input on the fishery side of the business and this is what he has to say about Highfields:-
‘An awful lot of thought and planning has gone into the development of the lakes and fishing at Highfields along with the park itself. Paul & Chris have clearly pulled upon their wealth of experience and along with my guidance, have developed what I deem to be very special fishery. It is perfect for the general Coarse angler and I can certainly see why it is so attractive for holiday home owners and holidaymakers alike. I have supplied most of the quality Carp that have been introduced and I can definitely vouch for the marginal plants as a lot of them came from my lakes! I would have no hesitation in recommending Highfields to anybody'
