Whisky (mem sec) & I (sec) visited Kingcombe today to discuss the current situation with Otter & cormorant predation & our suggested plans for the future with the owners.
These suggestions will be discussed with the remainder of your committee asap & the outcome will be published at the earliest opportunity.
We did see a few fish topping & cruising around & it’s looking lovely up there (no algae/weed..yet).
Even if you don’t catch.. there are much worse places to spend a few hours. 🙏🎣

Important information:
Just wanting to quell any rumours …
Kingcombe lakes remain OPEN, however, we have been informed of Otter predation on the lower lakes 😢. Evidence is apparent, we are monitoring the situation.

If you do visit there, all we ask is that you record any catches (or not) in the log in the hut (where you should be signing in).

Very sad news for the owners & us/you & very expensive to prevent predation (unless someone has a spare £25k 🥴).

We will keep you updated.

Angry post 🤬!
We recently put a temporary fence (image 1) outside the lower gate at Silverlake to prevent cars turning on the verge (not allowed!), read the rules!
Very recently, someone ignored it and reversed around the end of it (image 2) causing more damage.
This has got to STOP, you have the gate code, open the gate & turn at the purposely created turning point by the disabled pegs!
If this continues, we may have our planned parking spaces cancelled because of this laziness & stupidity.
End of!!

302lb of 2lb-4lb bream stocked in Lysander today 👏🏼🎣.
Additional carp arriving next week.
Some good sport expected in the spring & beyond!
