PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With immediate effect there will be a strict policy that all nets, weigh slings, unhooking mats, net bags and carp cradles MUST be bone dry before you enter our fishery to fish this is for carp anglers, match anglers and pleasure anglers. This is due to a KHV outbreak not far away.
I appreciate that we cannot be on hand to check everyone but I do stress that every member is encouraged to approach an angler that is not obeying the rules as each member is a bailiff whilst on site.
Keepnets have been stopped on the canal since last week and this will remain in force until the water levels have come up to a acceptable level. This also applies to the match lake, matches ceased on the last evening league and will not be fished until I am happy with the water levels.
Weed issues continue I see some anglers are not very happy with the amount of weed, we are following suggestions from the EA on how to reduce the issue but this will take time, its not an overnight process we only wish it was. As I am sure you can appreciate, all if not every committee member works either full time or part time leaving us very little time to do any lake work. Over previous years we have had work parties organized but.... hardly anybody turns up leaving just the few hands to maintain 3 lakes which is not ideal but we struggle on.
I am not going to bore you all with what KHV is, I am sure you are all competent enough to look it up. Please just be ultra careful the next couple of months.
Thank you for your understanding, If anyone has any problems please pm me direct I will be happy to help or throw abuse your way whichever I see fit🤣
