Fishing

There are fish in the lake. Mainly Carp!! And some of them are huge.

Fishing is something that is reserved for the Shags (Cormorants). There is a “No Fishing” sign in the Reserve.

Some however, have fished in the lake and left their litter & dead fish bodies to pollute the shore and putrefy the water (After all you can’t eat Carp, yuk!!). One of the local residents recently got a fish hook caught in her toes whilst walking her dogs. Another group of neighbors were involved in rescuing a poor Coot who had fishing line wrapped around its wings and feet. The bird survived! So please if you do happen to get the urge and sneak in to fish, make sure you take all the fish caught and your rubbish and lines and hooks.
