OUR FISHING YEAR
The lake is quite shallow, so we're prone to the effects of warm water and lower oxygen levels in the Summer (and recently into early Autumn)
In these conditions, the fishing is very limited indeed.
It can get quite weedy.
Although seen as the enemy by Anglers, the weed provides shade and cover for the fish, it produces valuable oxygen, it takes up nutrients to deprive Algae and is a prolific breeding ground for invertebrates and other foodstuffs that keep our fish fed through to the Spring.
The fishing opportunities we lose in Summer is made up for once Autumn is with us and is outstanding from then until the end of Spring
Our Trout thrive in cold water and with a good supply of natural food and they benefit from the Siltex treatment we apply every year.
