Kingstanding Work Parties (Nov 2004 to Jan 2005)

As you may or may not be aware fishing is not just about catching fish. As a club we need to maintain and improve our waters. Over the last few months we have had a number of work parties at Kingstanding pools in an effort to improve your angling experience.

The first phase of work, which has taken place over the last year or so, was to improve the pegs around all three pools. We have made good progress on this and built a number of new pegs and improved the ‘fishability’ of the existing ones.

The second phase of work was to address the Silt problem in the first pool. A stream runs in to the top pool and deposits silt where it enters. The silt had built up and was starting to spread across the pool, at some stage this would become a significant problem. (e.g. The depth would reduce, low oxygen levels, stock levels of fish could suffer)

What we have done here is:

1. Dredge the old silt trap.


2. Create a new Silt Trap/Settlement Pool above the top pool near the car park.


Here’s one of the Chairman of the club pitching in.


The paths will require some maintenance while the hardcore is bedding in.
