The General Committee have agreed to the reopening of Johnson’s Lake with effect from 9am on Monday 17th August.

Broadwater Lake will remain closed for the time being, due to continuing concerns with water quality which are being addressed.

We will update again in due course

Members should be aware that both air and water temperatures remain high with an associated risk for fish welfare.

To minimise these risks, members are asked to:

• Feed in moderation, using no more than 2kg of groundbait, pellet or boilie per 24 hours. Uneaten bait decomposing in warm water can increase demand on dissolved oxygen.
• Play and land fish efficiently to avoid unnecessarily prolonged playing of fish.
• Have unhooking equipment ready before removing fish from the water 
• Ensure your hands are wet before handling fish
• Keep unhooking mats and cradles wet and cool by frequent dousing - do not place fish on banks or dry mats or cradles
• Keep fish out of water for the minimum amount of time necessary and minimise handling and photography
• Keepnets are restricted to authorised competitions only and should be placed as deep as possible

Please fish within these limitations while we progress through what continues to be a difficult period.

Due to the extreme heat and low dissolved oxygen readings, we are closing Broadwater Lake to anglers from Friday the 14^th August.

We will reopen the lake as soon as conditions improve.

The dissolved oxygen levels have been more stable in recent days but the water temperatures remain dangerously high.  

We are continuing to monitor the lake and will reopen the water when conditions return closer to normal but feel for now it is safer to keep the lake closed.

All other waters remain open.
