Willowgate trout fishery- Summer jobs

Willowgate trout fishery- The staff at Willowgate are very busy right now with weed cutting and bank maintenance the main focus of out time. The lack of rain and warm dry weather is certainly a welcome spell of weather but encourages vegetation growth in the pond. The staff are dedicated to keeping the quality of the fishing as high as possible during the warm summer months and we hope if you come to sample the fishing that you enjoyself. Recent weed cutting operations have been very successful and will be continued as we progress through the season.
