HBS fisheries also offer fishery management services which include electrofishing using a state of the art Electracatch WFC4 – High Voltage pulsed DC electrofishing system. The WFC4-HV machine is suitable for catching fish in low conductivity rivers and burns. This machine is also extremely effective when working in lakes and larger rivers. This equipment employs a transformer with switched output voltages, thereby enabling a range of outputs to be used. The output voltages may be selected to suit the characteristics of the freshwater lakes or rivers where the equipment is being used. We also have seine nets manufactured with lead line or weights at the bottom - this helps us to combat the problem of lakes with silty bottoms. Nets with lead lines are used for silty bottom lakes and nets with weights are used for gravel bottom lakes. Fish transportation throughout the UK using our specialist vehicles which are fully equipped with insulated tanks and electric air blowers or oxygen cylinders to make sure the fish are transported with minimal stress and arrive in tip top condition. Fish micro-chipping is also available to mark and monitor fish growth and movement of fish, this is carried out using our specially trained staff. We can also supply scanners and signage etc to protect your fishery. Water quality testing for PH, oxygen levels, conductivity, ammonia and nitrates. Groundcare maintenance such as mowing or spraying using our compact Mitsubishi MT20 four wheel drive tractor and other specialist equipment.

Today I went to Priory Fisheries to collect some hand picked C4's for the specimen lake, we have removed some off the smaller commons from the lake and replaced them with 10 of these stunners which will hopefully create some very special fish in the future!

Despite the rain today we made good progress on the willow trees, just abit of tidying up next week clearing branches.

14/09/2024

As from next Saturday 21st September we are going to start taking down the large willows trees from 'Reeds' swim right up through to the 'Shallows". This will be done with an 13T excavator fitted with tree shears working from the track between the two lakes, so from Friday 20th all the swims along this bank will be closed and expect some noise and distribution for a few days if fishing in other swims. Sorry for any inconvenience. Richard
