Following the outbreak of KHV in the summer of 2007 the water was closed and remains so. The committee is closely monitoring the situation for the current season to see if there is any possibility to open it up on a limited and controlled basis.

However further fish deaths have occurred this May, linked possibly to higher water temperature, so there is little likelihood of fishing in the immediate future.

Members will be aware that KHV is extremely contagious and can easily be introduced to any other water by simply using the same wet nets. The disease attacks common carp and will decimate the fish stocks with up to 100% mortality.

For this reason when fishing the society waters you are to dip all nets and weigh slings using the dip tanks provided.

At the July Committee meeting a decison has confirmed that the water will remain shut until further notice.
