Time For a Change........

Well, we've waved goodbye to our summer house and fishing hut.
They've served us well over the years, but we decided that our gorgeous new pond deserved a brand new fishing lodge!






The foundations have already been laid, and we will soon have a lovely lodge (complete with a covered veranda.) Not only will it provide ample storage for the fishers, it will be perfect for picnics - with enough shelter from the sun showers!

They've Arrived!

We have now welcomed 650 tench, bream and crucian carp (upto 10 inches in size) into their new home - Meadow Pond.

Colin was there to make sure that they settled in nicely - and Boris and Buster were there as the official welcoming committee!

Out With the Old.......

Well it's been little over a week since we waved goodbye to the last of our New Year guests, but it has been a hive of activity here at Forda!

As many of you know, we always take the opportunity in the few short weeks that we are closed to not only plough ahead with our ongoing maintenance programme, but also to make improvements to the accommodation.

So, amongst all of the painting, varnishing and groundworks, one of our projects this year is concentrating on our two Delta lodges.

All new interior doors have already been hung and brand new bedroom furniture is on the way - we think that the end result will be fabulous!

Pictures to follow soon....

Merry Christmas!

Wishing all of our Forda friends old and new, a very Merry Christmas.

The Bude traditional Christmas Day swim went ahead as planned (and the weather was much kinder this year than last!)

You can see for yourselves how it went here

We will be posting again within the next few weeks with details and hopefully some nice pictures of our new arrivals - fish!

In the meantime, enjoy the New Year celebrations and we look forward to seeing you at Forda very soon!

Tight Lines!

The ponds here at Forda have been fishing really well throughout the season, and fishing lessons have been very popular. This picture was taken last week and shows coach (Colin) and pupil (Abbie) with a lovely 12lb carp.
We hear that Abbie has since challenged her dad to a fishing competition - and from the progress that she made during her holiday at Forda, we think that she'll win!

Tweet Tweet!

At Forda we have decided to embrace technology and as from today will be using Twitter (alongside Facebook, Blogger and of course our website) to keep all of our friends, old and new, up-to-date with news and special offers. You can follow us on Twitter from here!

Filling Up Nicely!

As you can see from our latest photographs, the new pond is filling up nicely and the grass has taken wonderfully (we've even had to mow it a few times!) Won't be long now until we begin introducing some new fish.
