It is with deep regret that I have to post this thread Nanpantan Reservoir the place I have jointly run for over 20 years has been poached by scumbags using Gill Nets . Anyone using these things have no consideration for fish wildlife or much else we care so passionately for . On Wednesday morning we noticed something strange out in the water at first we thought it was a dead or injured duck . On closer inspection we were horrified to find a ball of fish obviously . The net had obviously been in the water for a long time as some fish had already started to decay so we assumed the net had broken away from its anchor point and had been drifting around . When it was brought to the bank it had a lot of fish tangled up in it Around 10 Carp to over 20lb bream, roach ,peach and pike . The police Severn Trent and the Environment Agency were called and came to the reservoir within the hour. This is a big blow to us as we run the reservoir as a none profit venue we have also raised thousands of pounds over the years for children's charities as many members on here will know . We don't know if this is the first attempt at poaching or what stock we have in
Place as winter catch reports are slow anyway hopefully this was the only and last time these scumbags tread our banks 😡😡😡😡

Will see how the next two weeks goes but I can't see the situation improving much I suppose we both have options he could let us pay the balance on arrival or tell us to do one then he has the lake place to refill but would anyone send £2400 the way things look at the moment ?

I have a dilemma I have a trip booked for last week in May full lake booking we have paid £800 deposit and the balance of £1600 is due in the next couple of weeks . Do I
A pay it and risk losing £2400
B stick it on a horse in Cheltenham and hope it wins 😜
C try and work out a deal with the owner and say we will pay on arrival
Imo I think if trips had to be cancelled the least the owners could do is offer you a discounted trip at a later day

Yeah Kevin was there he was kept busy by the rest of the anglers well most of the rest 2 biggest fish and 2 64s and 11 50s should be worth a look
