We were fortunate to obtain angling access to The Grove near East Carleton in 2015.
After a fantastic first season, a fish kill 2016, and more latterly relentless fish predation and accelerating silting/weed growth has been the subject of prolonged discussion and communication within the club.
The overview of water issues was flagged and discussed at the Annual General Meeting May 2022.
Regrettably, the balance of fish stock, members using the water, the overhead in clearing weed in reduced depth, and annual cost has eroded any value to NUAC.
We have kept this water open, particularly over the last 3 years, with the support of a small core of club members - thank you so much for your help, we didn’t give up easily and it will be no surprise we’ve now taken this decision.
We have served contractual notice, and our access to this water ceases dusk 31 January 2023.
As always, the club continues to seek new water opportunities for the future.
If you have any queries in respect of The Grove, or if you can facilitate access to a potential new water or fishery access, please contact me.
On behalf of the NUAC Committee, can I send very best wishes for 2023.
Regards,
Jon
