Maintenance



The goat willow self-seeded a few years back and has been making steady progress round the lake.
As beautiful as it is; it has had to be trimmed back a little.  Fishing through a plant is almost impossible and so we have got to work pruning and taking some plants out.

Craig has needed to use a variety of tools; taking care not to disturb too much of the surrounding vegetation and root systems.


No that our resident Canada Geese seem to mind.
We have had two mating pairs this year with 3 goslings surviving into adulthood.

The next stage of our maintenance is addressing the height of our fishing platforms.
Put in some 10 years ago, they need to be lowered; allowing better access to the water level.
This will be on-going for some time but we hope to have it finished around mid-August as we stop or move around the lake to allow fishermen a quiet day near the water.


Folk often ask when our matches are booked (the lake is closed for these).  Please see our new page in which we hope to keep matches booked updated.
