Has anyone on here joined Wold Valley? I had a look and just didnt fancy fishing in Pea Green Soup! By all accounts there are still places left out of the 25 available. The guy running it said I could pay in instalments the £300 joining fee......seems their desperate to fill it.
I know some of the lads say its got potential, but looking at it, the water is devoid of any serious weed growth etc.....not what I would call a rich water to grow fish on.

Ok Steve, I don't know which lake you visited that was pea green but it wasn't Wold Valley! There are still places left and we're not desperate to fill them,nothing was said about paying in instalments we're just being careful who we let in. Its not just a case of turn up with your money and you're in. If you had had the courtesy to contact Glen after your visit you would have found out that you hadn't been accepted. Some of the reasons for this was because of some things that took place at Barleys which I'll not mention on here. Suffice to say we are looking for people to be part of a friendly syndicate where everyone gets along and has respect for the fish and their fellow anglers.

As for the lake not having potential I would rather listen to the opinions of the guys from the EA and the people that have fished the lake for the past 3 or 4 years and on the basis of that information I consider that the lake has the potential to produce some really good, big fish.

While we're clearing the decks here Steve you mentioned on the phone to Glen that we were really good mates and fishing buddies whilst on Barleys. Steve, I know you as an angler that was on Barleys for two seasons, we spoke as anglers do. We never fished together although we might have been on the lake at the same time. Steve, if you ever want to use my name as an intro to someone please do the decent thing and contact me first.

Steve,

The water at the Valley is FAR from being Pea Green!!In fact it is quite a clear lake!!

Fair enough if you don't wanna join the lake but don't come on here slagging it off!!I have spoke to the syndicate leader and he told me you were not offered a deal to pay the membership in insalments!!And i know for a FACT that they are not pleased at all with you slagging the place off!!

Fairs fair Steve, this is not the place to slag a newly opened syndicate.

Give it time with the right people looking after the place it (which by all accounts it does) it has the potential to be an excellent water. Something that is rare in these parts.

Pete.

Are there any syndicate places left in the area

Theres me thinking a forum was a place for ones opinions and views!
Like to know what went on at Barleys Chris?

Opinions and views are one thing Steve, lies and make believe are something completely different!

As to what went on at Barleys I did say that I wasn't going to mention things on here as I didn't want to highlight examples of bad angling practice (IMO)or slag anyone off on a public forum.The boat episode Steve for one.

The post that you made about Wold Valley was wholly uncalled for and the fact that you would post what you did reinforces our belief that we made the right decision in not accepting you for membership.We can do without people like that.

Enjoy your fishing Steve and try to let others do the same.

WOLD VALLEY

WHAT!!!!!!

Excuse me Steve why have you written that total and utter crap about Wold Valley?

I don't mind people making Criticisms about our lake if they have good reason too. What you have writ down is total and utter lies.

One if you took your head out of your a**e when walking around you would have found the lake was not like pea soup but totally the opposite. You could not have missed the crystal clear stream what feeds the valley therefore making the water quite clear.

TWO were did you get this c**p that we said you could pay in instalments what total and utter bull nobody pays in instalments.

THREE I heard about you a long time before I took over the valley by numerous people and if you had of contacted me about looking around the place I would most defiantly have said no. I/we want people who can get on with other anglers know how to look after fish and certainly do not slag other people off behind there backs.

I am hoping that not many people listen to your underhand comments and take you for what you really are.

Any anglers on the warehouse are invited to have a look at the lake obviously by appointment you can then make your own judgements about the valley.

youngy

steve,
lets get a few things straight here about you and the valley,
firstly,when you first rang me up you couldnt give me your money fast enough,bearing in mind you havent even seen the lake that put a serious doubt in my mind as to how much of a competent carp angler you are,nobody in there right mind would pay without seeing a venue.
secondly...unless you had a ski mask over your head you were at the totally wrong lake
wold valley doesnt remotely resemble pea green soup,it never has done and never will do,like my partner said if you bother to open your eyes you would have seen it was fed by a natural stream and out of a sluice gate at the other end(another reason to doubt your angling capabilities).
thirdly....this lake has the gubbings of producing big fish(which it will do)any sensible carp angler would be able to tell this just by looking at the place,it is naturally fed and is basically a larder for the fish(another reason to doubt you)
fourthly....we are not desperate to fill our syndicate in the first few weeks of opening,for the simple reason we want anglers who can see the place how it will be in five years time and not with people who carnt see past their nose.
wold valley is for people with some insight and vision and not fly by night muppet anglers who havent got a clue what they are talking about.
im afraid to say steve,you definetly fall into the latter part of this and this is why if you had botherd to phone me you would have found that you were not accepted by myself or martin

so in future steve if you want to slag off a water make sure you have a clue what you are talking about

regards
glen.watmough
