Gents, We have finally reached approval from Lafarge Aggregates
so that we can alter the close season on The Match Pit.
It has been known for some time that the large Carp in the pit breed later than
the current season allows. Therefore it is not uncommon to see fish caught heavy in spawn.
As we want to preserve our stock and see it grow from native fish
their welfare is paramount.
I am
therefore asking for your thoughts on how we should adjust the current season to one that suits the fish?
It has been suggested that we close the water JUNE AND JULY. This
will of course mean that we get an extra months fishing. We can finish at the end of May.
On another note to keep you informed. We are altering how we process your membership. This will effect
your membership so that it will effectively END ON March 15th. After that date you
will cease to be a member. To carry on fishing on waters that are open you must rejoin ASAP after the 15th
March. This will also help us police the waters. As no one will be fishing without their licence.
