what the rope with red floats for across side snags, think its a danger as may end up with rigs hanging off it if people still try fish the swim!! or is the swim actually closed??

The floats have been put back to stop anglers casting right up into the pads area which we will shortly be clearing out and putting a swim in there to hopefully push the fish out into open water. |

Are the floats going to be a permanent feature or will they be removed when all the work is complete?? Or will it stay to divide the new swim and side snags??

Really cant see the point in yet another swim whats the point? why not just pull the pads out and keep the swim as it is ? is it to allow for poor anglers who cant catch from the Original swims i can just see this causing more problems than its worth  |

While the bailiffs were building the swim on Saturday around 20 fish were in there and thats only what we could see. One fish repeatedly head and shouldered 3 feet from the bank. |

Think if you asked most members they would vote on having the pads raked out but not having another swim put in!!! The fish will only find another set of snags to hold up in for sanctuary in the end and then what another new swim?? Even with the fish in the side snags fish do get caught around the lake they don't stay in there forever!!

If there's that much problem with fish just sitting there then means there's bait to eat would have thought would have been much more cost efficient and alot less work to just shut the swim for a month that way all the fish sitting there would have to venture out and find other food , admittedly yes they'll more than likely go back there but if the swim was shut from time to time it would have less food sitting there and wouldn't have to start building another swim on top of another one apperently there's another one going in just on the other side of the bush aswell  Not sure if that's true but if it is that's 3/4 swims all fishing that corner again if you include the garden swim ! The side snags and one or two new swims either side of the bush they'll all be back down there anyway |

That wasn't a moan by he way just think if the members had more say in things as there the people fishing it then that would resolve alot of assuming there's a problem with a perfectly good swim which I think I've only fished once or twice but it's not caused me a problem When I'm not fishing that swim

DDAPS committee have been advised by a very well known fisheries expert to try and remove as many snags as possible from our lakes for fish saftey. Our lakes have been there for 70 odd years and it's time to start a maintenance program

The lakes have been there 70 years and great venues they are aswell but how many of our members will leave because of all these changes? do we really need these changes or is it just being done because certain people want it? i feel educating New members to the way the fishery ticks is a better option rather than changing the venue to suit them or cater for them,the lakes have never needed change before so why does it now ? this is not a Dig at anyone or even at the club but its a question i feel needs to be answered by the members could these issues not go to a vote

I am not a member so I don’t know the situation, but was on a club committee as water manager and from my experience you can never keep every one happy for fishing (is means) a lot of different things to different people. I personally like natural lakes with snags in but trying to educate new and old members is easy said than done the same goes to doing all the work that needs to be done to keep the club ticking. I am guessing that the committee get voted in every year let them do there job that they have been voted in for its a hard one.

This subjects ended up well overlooked lol , the actual start of the conversation on here had absalutly nothing to do with taking snags out of the lake not one persons Denys that it's good to keep the lake snag free it was more the point of building a new swim right on top of another one lol which is built now but I agree with Gary and boyziedog who started the conversation building another swim directly over another one probably isn't going to get rid of snags or scare fish out they'll always find a little spot to relax whilst there not looking for food 😃😄😊😉
