SATURDAY 31 MARCH - GRANGE POND CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING.
GRANGE POND - NEW STOCKS ADDED TODAY (23 MARCH) Approximately four hundred pounds of carp were released into Grange Pond today. All carp, there was a mixture of mirrors and commons with an average weight of just over a pound per fish, the biggest weighing about a pound and a half. This new stock will soon grow on, and ensure that we have a good size range of fish in the lake. The photographs show Dave Kent and Rob Pembridge releasing the fish plus shots of the sample of fish introduced. At present, Grange Pond is still high and coloured (ideal for the new stocks to settle). The pegs remain under water and fishing is restricted to certain areas where the banks are safe.
