Work is progressing well on Pit 3 with the digger work likely to be completed on Friday October 31st. The video shows some precision work by PW Groundworks driver (Derek) to cut swims into the bank and leave "shoulders" to support decking. This will also create fish refuges below the platforms to counter potential cormorant predation. Once digger work is complete on Pit 3, the digger will move onto Pit 4. Work will be done  to reprofile the bund between pegs 4 and 7, increase

Now the previously excavated spoil from Pit 3 has dried out, the next step towards the creation of a dedicated tench and crucian water started this week with our contractor PW Groundworks returning to site for final shaping of the banks and digging out swim positions.  The work also involves the creation of a level strip around the inside of the predator fence and around the lake itself to allow for future maintenance. The work is expected to take a couple of weeks . In addit

Peter Turrell with a 20lb bag of mainly Ide from Pit 1 Follows several reports of bags of Bream up to 60lb, Pit 1 is now producing great bags of Ide. Stocked a couple of years ago, there were initial comments that the cormorants had taken then all but the reed fringed lake obviously provided sufficient fish refuges. Great to see they are now providing sport later in the year.
