I've been a tad busy trying to
have a late spring clean of our website,
you will see that I have got rid
of many of the old pages hoping that I have left important information
and more topical stories on the site.
I hope this new improved look suits you all.
Hopefully I
haven't messed too much of it up but if you find any problems with it
please let me know.

NETHERGROVE
LAKE - REFURBISHMENT PROJECT
The refurbishment / tidying up of the
lake and surround is well underway. Some of the work done would appear
quite brutal with the significant cutting back of bank side trees and
bushes. The swims however, have become in a couple of areas quite overgrown
and so we have taken this action before they become too closed up.
Further work is planned with the
re-establishment of swims opposite the island and the pruning of trees along
the high bank. Next winter the island will be coppiced. We do this every 5
or 6 years. Hopefully in the next month some Carp, Ghost and Koi will be
introduced. These fish go up to a pound in weight and will, we feel add
sport to the venue.
Anyone
interested in helping with the restoration project please contact Graham on
01223 234616. Our Bailiff Rodger over at Block Fen wishes to organise a
litter pick at our Mepal venue. Please contact Graham if you can offer an
hour or so this Spring.
Fish Tales - a tale of
Nethergrove Lake
CFPAS LTD Fishery,
Barway.
I regret to
report that access to the Ouse at Barway (pump) Section is prohibited. The
Landowner has locked the access gate and will not allow anglers access.
This action is not a result of anglers but persistent fly-tipping on his
land.
CFPAS LTD has
attempted to negotiate with the Landowner but without success. We regret
therefore that this fishery is no long accessible to CFPAS LTD members and
we have advised our Landlords the Environment Agency accordingly.
Level 2 Coaching
Certificate
I am
delighted to report that Alan Brown and John Pope have successfully
completed their professional Angling Association run course for the Level 2
Certificate in coaching angling on 1st 4 Sport qualification. CFPAS LTD and
the Environment Agency were co-sponsors of Alan and John who will be
presented with their certificates in the near future. The course is quite
intensive and requires a considerable amount of personal time to complete.
CFPAS LTD is proud to boast that we now have four Level 2 licensed coaches
and three Level 1 coaches in delivering our coaching programme. All are
happy to talk about their experience in getting the qualification and whilst
we will tell you it is a lot of work we will also say how rewarding it is.
