News » ponds now open
The Trust had its third , and last for 2024, fishout day last Sunday. The fishing was quite good with about 75% of the kids catching fish. The fish were generally around the one kg mark with a few larger. This was an improvement on the previous two fishout days where we struggled to get a 50% catch rate. The low catch weight was put down to the fish being harassed by a shag which hopefully has now been frightened off. There have been several school and other groups over the last few weeks and they have also done well.
There are still a good number of fish in the children’s ponds. Fishing should be quite good over the holidays for children to fish. If you have a look on the tips page there is plenty of advice as to equipment and how to set it up. The ponds are open for children to fish from 15 December through until the end of March 2025.
It was disappointing that some people who booked in for the last fishout day did not turn up and did not advise us. We had to disappoint some people who were keen to attend and were on the wait list.
