Haven't a few of the other waters down Holsworthy way been done as well? As well as most of the trout waters around north devon

Yes,of course the only one that comes to mind is my friend and manager Andy ,from Simpsons,last I hear he was planning to fence the 'fuzzys'...least that's what I was told by a member who fishes my lake..

Not sure if it built yet...

There are,as you know lots of unfenced lakes in Holsworthy,Pyeworthy all have suffered predation..
I ought to mention Alan Beat,old skool carper from Bridgerule who has his own private fishery with genuine leney strains...(long story)...
Alan was the first person to fence in Devon and was of great help and encouragement to me..So really Alan is the founding father of fencing design in Cornwall /Devon,I have his prototype round my fishery..

Any lake in the Tamar Valley not fenced,and there are still lots that haven't in the Launceston,Bude,Holsworthy area are all very vulnerable to predation,hence why I don't fish some of them any longer...

Does any one know if Riverton is fenced ?

Ahh yes,one more...Mr Aqua himself,pretty certain someone of his calibre would have it all secure..

Haven't been here for many, many years but I would've thought Riverton was impossible to fence as you have to drive through a ford to get onto the lakes, unless they gated it somehow after the ford.

In reply to Post #22
Forgot about that Ford..! All I know is that the lakes have been totally revamped,restocked the whole nine yards etc..

Wonder if anyone on here knows about fencing at Riverton? If not I'll contact them and ask ..

Woolpack Fishery lakes 4, 5/6, 7 & 8. 50 acre site all fully fenced in 2011. Fence length 2.1km, subcontractor cost £31,000, estimated "cost" ("free" labour hours and heavy machine time by owner and syndicate members) of site clearance to install fence another estimated £40-50,000 on top of that.
Otter damage on site before completion of fence, 4 dead 25lb+ 30 year old carp, and two maimed for life. Approx replacement value..... £10,000??

Contact Matty at Embryo angling... he's done lots of fences in the last couple of years.

Topman Andy, top info

I know matt well, hes a good bloke

My local club lake Marlborough pool nr. Oxford had a fairly lengthy otter fence recently erected after losing many a decent carp to otters. Not the prettiest but hopefully doing the job it's there for. I did spot an article in the opening pages in last months carp world mentioning said lake, not sure if they had some kind of help/grant too.

Hmm, it's a difficult situation, indeed.

It's hard to get info online, your best bet would be ring around tackle shops

In reply to Post #1
talking to the bailiff at Baden Hall this week and he told me that they have ringed off about with otter fencing
it had taken 9 big carp, 2 swans and a few ducks before they managed to "remove it" from site
total cost of £70,000 for the fence
