In the Close Season there is much work to be done. Banks and paths have to be repaired and at times fishery management projects, such as fish netting or stocking, have to be completed. Dates of working parties are made available to members at each AGM but are also available from Head Bailiffs, Secretary, and now here on our web site.  Members are encouraged to participate in this worthwhile and important area of fishery management.
To acknowledge the efforts of members who attend working parties  there will be the opportunity to fish these waters pre-season until 9pm, after the working party session has finished. Subject to the Head Bailiffs Discretion.
N.B. Does not apply to Braxted Fisheries or Stock Ponds.
 

Below are some photographs of a netting party which took place in December 2003.
