Was going to buy a season ticket for Draycote this year but hadn't got round to it when the news that Draycote, Eyebrook and Thornton would not be opening for the start of the 2024 season due to insolvency broke. Heartbreaking for all of the employees who were all very knowledgable and friendly so hopefully something will be sorted out soon after the season starts Have recently become a member of the Draycote Fly Fishers which has an excellent whatsapp group and am currently thinking that I will try and get a trip to Ravensthorpe soon. However the weather has certainly not been friendly and so have missed the 1st month of the season already, to be fair this was also due to me being away for work for most of March. Was looking to go on Monday (8th) but looking at the forecast there are 20 - 30 mph winds and I am too old to enjoy being out in that so will currently be giving it a miss Hopefully some time over the next week or so I will get a trip out
