Wydon Burn Maintenance

Wydon Burn will be off limits for 3 or 4 weeks from 27th March to carry out essential maintenance

 

Work Schedule and stocking

This year we aim to contract out some of the more demanding tasks to make our waters more comfortable to fish

The control of weed and reed in the QEII has been targeted with the help of council facilities along with repairs to platforms.

The fence at Brenkley is near completion and the aeration windmill has been erected with just the air stones to install into the pond. A couple of pegs will be renewed also

Peg 8 on Horton will be targeted and rebuilt by a contractor. The trench on the left hand side has done it's job and kept the path drier  this winter.

Milkhope needs a bit of TLC on the left hand side by cutting back the hawthorn bushes. The water inlet has been sorted now thanks to our landlord and the pond is full to cater for the recent stocking.

Carp 3 to 5lb were stocked into Milkhope last weekend along with large bream and a couple of big tench going into Horton Grange.

The keepnet ban remains in place until further notice unless a club organised event

 

It's all happening at Milkhope!

Make the most of your time on Milkhope this week as it closes from Sunday 30th January at dusk, for a couple of months at least. You may be asked to move from your peg whilst the work starts from Friday 28th January.  The Environment Agency will start clearing some pegs to give better access. Sorry for the inconvenience but we have waited a long time to get this sorted and it must happen.

The Agency have set up operations in the main car park and will begin netting the pond on Monday 31st January. They will continue operations for at least a couple of weeks and then secure the pond with live surveillance cameras to make sure the site remains secure.

Absolutely no access whatsoever to the pond. Anyone attempting to do so will be dealt with. Yes it's that important! We can't miss this opportunity now.

Please help the Environment Agency by keeping away.  Information on this site will be available as soon as we know anything.

Phases of operation

• Net some reasonable size species for retention by the Agency.

• Treat the pond which will kill all remaining fish.

• Test the water until it is safe to stock again.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE HORTON & MILKHOPE ACCESS***

Now that the road bridge has been removed the mining operation at Milkhope and Horton Grange is winding down.  To that end, the 'Temporary' access road to the ponds will be removed and the original road will be re-instated. Therefore, it is important to take note of the following:

From Monday 6th September, access to the ponds will be through Banks' compound which is straight ahead as you turn into the site.  A strict speed limit will be in force as there is still heavy machinery moving around that area. Members must not enter the site before 6:00am and must leave the site by 7:00pm. The gates will be locked by Banks outside of these times. This should only be in force for a couple of weeks while the machinery is moved off site. Our hands are tied on this one.

IF YOU DO NOT ADHERE TO THESE TIMES YOU WILL BE LOCKED IN

Waters Update

The Environment Agency still intends to clear Milkhope of predation but when? is the question.  In the meantime feel free to fish the water as often as you like but bear in mind there are no keepnets allowed and you MUST dip your landing net before and after fishing.  There are carp around 4lb coming out regularly and plenty of smaller fish too.

QEII is slow but there are some decent carp being caught as well as silvers. Night fishing, for members only, is producing but most carp are coming out during the day.

Brenkley has woken up since the stocking and carp up to 2lb are being caught regularly on 'THE METHOD' here's a VIDEO to get you started.

For a change of species there are large bream coming out of Horton Grange on waggler, pole and feeder. A fishmeal based groundbait mix with simple baits such as maggots often snare a 5lb+ specimen. Fish are starting to be caught all round the lake now
