Notice to members – end of Pike fishing season 31st March

Pike fishing will stop for the warmer months at Whittlesford pit on the 31st March until it cools down next season. Thank you for your understanding.

Notice to all members – Bird Scarer at Bordeaux

Please do not tamper with the bird scarer at Bordeaux Pit. It’s there to inhibit cormorant predation on our fish. Cormorants have taken a large quantity of our fish and to avoid ending up with a lake full of no fish, we kindly suggest that those switching them off refrain from doing so.
