Willowgate trout fishery- Big spring tides

The big tides this week have allowed us to prepare for the open day on Sunday 28th March. These pontoons will also form the Willowgate harbour allowing boats to land from the river in any water conditions. The big tides gave our wildlife ponds a good fill.

 

 

Working hard to keep fishery ice free

The ice is thin enough for us to keep the fishery open. Fishing is still good with plenty of fish being caught. The water is extremely clear so expect a good fight when you contact one of the big overwintered fish.
