Cranborne lake is closed to angling from December 1st to December 27th both dates inclusive. Since December 1st the estate workers have had to remove 3 members from the lake, the bailiffs will remove the membership cards from any members found on the lake, this is putting our lease at risk and is unacceptable.
We are hoping to re-open the lakes from next Monday, we are monitoring the temperature and will make a decision on Sunday. We would like to thank our members for their support during the closure.
Just to inform members whilst the lakes are shut there will be 2 bailiffs fishing Rockford and 2 bailiffs fishing Northfield (all with safe nets etc). The reason for this is that in March when we had the snow and nobody was on Rockford the container was broken into and the quad and £8000 worth of tools were stolen.
As some of you may know, there has been confirmed outbreaks of KHV on some local day ticket venues. As a result the following venues will remain closed until further notice:
Northfield Complex (Wash Pit, White Lake, Half Pit)
Rockford
Hightown
Everton Grange
Cranborne
Parley Lakes
Longham Reservoir
Avon Tyrrell
Breach Pond
We shall be monitoring water temperatures closely and the above venues will remain closed as a precautionary measure until we are happy that the temperatures are below that required for the virus to be spread.
We are pleased to report that the water conditions at Longham Reservoir have now improved and Longham Reservoir will reopen to members for fishing tomorrow (18.09.18). Thanks for your patience with this.
