More fish added to ponds
More fish were added to the ponds in early March and the ponds are very well stocked at the moment. Also the weed has started to die down with the cooler evenings so is less of a nuisance when catching a fish. That said it is still easier and more effective to fish with a float and bait rather than some form of spinner or soft bait. There is a nice fish , 5lb plus , in the small pond. :)
Remember that the ponds close for public/parent assisted fishing from the 30th of March to the 30th of May to enable maintenance, some fishout days , and events for special needs children .
December update
The fishing has been really tough on the last two children’s fishout events with relatively few fish caught and wet weather. That said the kids were really persistent , there were lots of true fishers amongst them.
The Trust changed its Trust deed a few years ago to enable fishing opportunities to the very elderly and to disabled adults. Job Jobe , one of our Trustees , took a small group of elderly residents (three on wheelchairs) from Somerset Village to the ponds 0n Tuesday the 6th of December. They did quite well hooking five fish most of which were released.
The ponds are open for children to fish from the 20th of December and will be restocked prior to opening. Have a good Christmas.
