NOTICE BOARD
WE LOVE FISHING
A BIT ABOUT US
With over 600 swims to choose from, we can cater for both pleasure and match anglers alike. If one water is booked up for a scheduled event, we know for a fact that we can put a pleasure angler on to a water where they will have an equally enjoyable day. Matches are held every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and we are currently taking match bookings for the year ahead.
While catching fish is an important part of any fishing trip, we recognize that the modern day angler wants more than just an arm aching spell of action. They require peaceful surroundings, well built and spaced pegs and friendly staff to approach with any queries they may have. We gladly supply all these added factors and aim to give all our visitors the complete package. Anglers willingly travel from as far away Newcastle and Exeter to visit our well maintained complex, and we aim to give every single one of them a memorable experience.
So, what are you waiting for?
Our FAQs should answer every query you could possibly have regarding Makins. If however, you still have a question, please feel free to call us on 07951436461and we will be happy to help you in any way possible.
Alternatively send us a message here. We really look forward to seeing you at Makins.
