hello wellyphant you do not need piles of rubbish to have a rat population it is mostly caused by bait and food not being put into waste bins when people have finnished with it and not throwing it into the bushes you are correct when you said it was a nice place i first fished there many years ago when the present owners had only just bought it and have fished there many times since but on my last trip there for a couple of years me and my son had problems with the rats we were fishing to the left of the housewith the feilds and bushes to our backs pegs 44 45
