Boyer Leisure control a number of still waters and stretches of rivers in the west London area and mainly in the counties of Middlesex and Buckinghamshire,all are within easy reach of all the major routes through both these counties (M25, M4, A40M and A4), making most of our venues fairly easily found on most maps. Amongst our 10 lakes and 2 rivers are a 30 acre and a 4 acre lake that are available on a season permit, plus there is also a ¾ mile stretch of the River Thames that can also be fished on either a day ticket or season permit. Some of our stillwaters close for a period of 2 months (March and April). We are planning to maintain this closed period in the foreseeable future. To conform to the Environment Agency rules our rivers close for a period of 3 months between 14th March - 16th June. Harefield lake will also be closed between the above dates due to English Nature's S.S.S.I rules. But these lakes do start fishing better once the bait starts to be introduced. Most of our other venues did get off to a tremendous start this season, which saw new lake records set in a few different species of fish and a number of new personal best fish caught by many of our members, be it size or total quantity of fish banked during the first few visits to their chosen venue. We try to cater for every angler whether they be match, pleasure, specimen, juniors or just starting up fishing, through to the very experienced angler. Another of our schemes that has been proving very popular over the last couple of seasons has been the "Fishing guest" and "Non fishing guest" permits, giving the chance for friends and families to all go fishing together, which is what we are trying to encourage more each year. Our friendly bailiffs that are present at all of our venues will, when asked, try to offer as much help and assistance as they can to the best of their knowledge. Close monitoring will be kept on all of our waters again this season due to the continuing growth of different species of weed that seem to be thriving during the warm summers and mild winters.
