Fish Feeding and Aeration

The pool is now stocked to a relatively high level, in relation to its area of 4.75 acres. To sustain stock levels and for fish to grow on and breed, it is essential that we provide supplementary food for these fish. So once the water warms up a little, we will be commencing our feeding programme. We understand that this sort of plan won’t please everyone, but it is essential and will be done with due care not to upset anglers. How would you like to be transported halfway across the country and dumped into a 30-foot-deep pool with no food, think about it! Every commercial in the country does this along with aeration, but most operate on limited hours and such activities are carried out after the anglers have gone home. We operate dawn till dusk and so don't have that opportunity.

 

Also, come April, the aerators will operate for 2 hrs a day until September. The main objective of the aeration is to break up thermal stratification, which if allowed to form will see cold water trapped beneath the thermocline. This trapped water will become colder and colder over the summer months, will be totally anaerobic and will contain harmful toxins that will eventually be released into the main column of water during the autumn turnover in November. This condition is highly damaging to the food chain and fish stocks. So in a nutshell, we see the benefits of aeration in the winter months when it is not running.

 

To further improve areas of the pool that suffer from a build-up of silt, we will be introducing the second dose of Siltex. This makes the water a little cloudy for a few hours after its introduction but is totally harmless to fish and greatly beneficial to the ecosystem.

 

This winter has seen the best match results ever recorded on this pool for the time of year, so please bear with us, we must be getting something right.
