Advice for Pike Anglers During Hot Weather conditions

All Waters

11/08/22

​

Due to the ongoing heatwaves and low water levels

Members are requested to voluntarily minimise the amount of bait being used on our waters.

There is already a bait restriction on Newpool of 1 kilo maximum bait per angler per 24 hours.

Water quality is being monitored across all our waters. The use of spombs/spods/mass baiting tools is also being reviewed pending any possible restrictions.

Finally a reminder that barbecues are banned across all our waters.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The track down to the National car park is currently closed

This is due to an act of vandalism.

Someone has smashed the lock of its chain and the lock has disappeared, the gate is now now locked with a temporary lock 

The lock will be replaced as soon as possible. 

The new lock when fitted will use the same national pool key.
