No, People in the Medway Valley just seem to enjoy having their pants pulled down.

Considering the Trout Lake, Big Lake and Ford Lake was £60 in 2002, to charge over £200 just for the Trout Lake in 2022 is laughable.

I suppose they need to re-coup the lost Larky money somehow eh?

30% of what was the initial price?

30% on a £50 ticket isn't comparable with 30% of a £1000 ticket.

Are they looking to add fences or restock maybe?

No nothing has changed, and don't get me wrong the lakes are nice and with low membership numbers. At this time of year you could be the only one fishing. Its just the price hike with no explanation.

My whole outlook on fishing has changed now I'm not chasing big fish, so i won't lose any sleep letting my ticket go.

Yes, my club is introducing a night ticket as a supplement, in order to try to reduce membership applications , as the waters now contain some large carp, and everyone suddenly wants to be on the bank. It's hard to get a decent swim that gives you a chance of catching nowadays.

Re: the 30% price hike.
Have the lake/complex membership total numbers dropped to compensate for more empty swims on the lakes, do you know ?

Membership time again and my local lakes have hiked the price by 30%.
Is this the norm now, I'm thinking of giving it a miss. I did most of my big fish hunting 20 years ago so get more enjoyment from some day ticket waters I know.
Anybody else have price rises this year.
