Received unsolicited email from David Taylor 28th July 2010
Hi Bill, just an email to say thanks again for two awesome days fishing. I have spoke to my friend who is up for coming over to you for a few days fishing. We just need to arrange the time to get together and we shall see you again, I'm looking forward to it. Here are some pics that I said I would email you, the grass carp pic is the one you took as I was about to pack up for the day he was 9lb and the mirror was 12lb. Thanks again.
Dave.

Received unsolicited email from dr. Pál András from Hungary 9th July 2010
Dear Bill and Val,
We stayed at Nine Oaks last week with my wife. We had the most wonderful time at Nine Oaks and Wales and I can't wait to return, but next time hopefully for a longer break.
Thank you for your kind hospitality and tuition. We hope to return soon. Meanwhile I'll show Hungarian carps something I learned in Wales... some luncheon meat. :)
Please say hello to doggy Dyl and the fish for me.
Best wishes,
Anna and Andras

Received unsolicited email from Alan 2nd August 2009
Hi Bill,
Just a couple of pictures for your gallery
Keiron Houghton (Aged 11) from Widnes Cheshire with a 6lb Mirror Carp landed on the main lake on bacon paste pellet, and his older brother Stuart (Aged 15) with his 7.5lb Mirror Carp landed from the novice pool whilst fishing on slug.
Once again, thanks for everything, we're all still "buzzing" from a fantastic week at Nine Oaks which far outweighed our expectations. I asked the kids on the way home whether they would prefer a Spain beach holiday or Nine Oaks, the answer was unanimous and we all hope to be back very soon.
Regards,
Alan Houghton and Family.

5. Message: Dear Sir. (Didn't get your name)
Just a note to say thank you, for a wonderful afternoon yesterday. My Son Jo and I had a great time and with your training and advice we went on to catch a Common Carp of approx 2lb.
We will most definitely be returning and with the other family members! I work unusual shift patterns which include weekends so will miss out on your free training sessions for the youngsters. This is a shame.
Nine Oaks is fantastic and I am pleased we found you.
Thanks again
Richard and Joseph

Hi Val & Bill,
Very many thanks for such a delightful stay at Snowdrop. We had a brilliant time touring the pools even though we don’t fish. It seems as though we packed a fortnight’s holiday into a week!

Received a copy from brothers Paul & Brian Trubshaw.
What a fantastic card made by them for their 80 year old Dad for his 80th Birthday treat - absolutely fantastic.
The inside of the card reads:
To celebrate your forthcoming 80th Birthday.
We have arranged a fishing holiday at Nine Oaks Fishery, Oakford near New Quay.
You will be collected around 9.00am on Friday 7th September & the journey of adventure & fun begins.
The card contains pictures taken from our web site. Stunning!

Received by unsolicited mail Friday 5th July 2007 from husband & wife Joan & Keith Woodcock.
We would like to thank you Val & Bill for the hospitality given to us during our week at Nine Oaks Fishery. You made us feel very comfortable and the fishing and accommodation was excellent.
We would also like to thank Bill for the return A.A Route home. That was "spot on". It took five hours with a half hour stop (didn't het lost once). Hope to see you next year with our friends.

Received by unsolicited email Wednesday 22nd February 2007 from father and son (John Conlin) after their first visit here.
Hi Bill,
Just thought I would drop you a quick email to say thanks very much for this weekend.
My Dad and I had a fantastic time, the fishing, customer service and sarnies were excellent!
We didn't catch any huge fish, but a PB Mirror for me, and a PB Mirror and PB Common for my Dad really made our weekend! (even if I did have to sit out in the wind & rain to catch my better fish!).
We'll certainly be back soon! I have attached some of the photos I took, feel free to use them!
Thanks from both me, and my Dad (who's also called John, just to keep it easy!)

- from Joe & Deann [megon@wildblue.net] from mid-west USA in response to email from Bill 18th April 2006.
- I was waiting till I actually caught a fish. While I have caught some sun fish nothing worth commenting on. Distance and accuracy are improving. I'll always remember to "flick it".
- We did enjoy Wales very much.
- The time we spent with you was very special. Your instructions and personal attention will really enable me to enjoy the sport of fly fishing. The conversation was great too.
- You'll get a picture of the first big one.
- We hope to return to Wales next summer, if we do we will be sure to come by.

Hi Bill
Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the fishing last Friday.The facilities and the welcome (including breakfast delivered to the bank ) was great. The caravan was very comfortable must have a look at the apartment next trip. I will be back for a days fishing with my 12 year old son on Sunday 26th June, he will love it, having only caught small silver fish in the past.

Had a great day at your fishery the other Sunday, You kindly said that you could email me a copy of the 6lb fish I caught. Sorry its taken me so long but I have been ill and this is the first time I have been able to use the computer. I'm telling everyone what a great day we had. Still no piece in last week or this weeks Carmarthen Journal but perhaps after xmas they will pop it in.
Cheers for now - hope to see you in the New Year.
Regards Simone

The quality of the fish in this lake is superb!

hi bill, just like to thank you for a fantastic week myself and the lads had last week. the changes you have made are a great step and look forward to seeing you again next year.

| 22nd June 2004 by email:
Bill,
Julia and I would like to thank you for a friendly and enjoyable day at Nine Oaks last week during our stay in Pembrokeshire.
We both remarked during the rest of the week how well the fishery is kept and run, having visited a vast amount of trout venus on our travels the standards vary conciderably. Nine Oaks is amongst the best we've found and is a credit to your hard work. We both caught after 7pm during a hot day. The trusty Diawl Bach and sinking line never seems to fail in Wales and tempted us nine prime fish, two of mine well over four pounds and one in particular well over five.
We both wish you all the best a Nine Oaks and hope to see you again one day.
David and Julia Martin
