AT GRANT 2026 - FISH REFUGES

Five fish refuges installed in the main lake at Mores Lane courtesy of an AT Anti-Predation grant. One has been placed in the small lake too. The catches of silver fish are already improving as a result of these. In addition, a nursery area was built in the bay for the proposed stocking of tench by the EA in winter 2026. Fingers crossed!

DODDINGHURST TREE WORK 2026

Some much needed tree work completed in February at Doddinghurst to reduce bankside trees and open up the pegs for rod and line fishing as well as allowing more light onto the bank to improve the range of flora.

This has already had a beneficial result with a noticable increase in bluebells and the planting of some flowering bushes to follow.

AT FISHERY IMPROVEMENT GRANT 2025

The first replacement platform using the AT grant money installed at Doddinghurst. Other accessible pegs to follow in late September
