On Wednesday 7th April 2010 another sucessful netting of No2 pond at Bestwood took place.
The work was carried out by Mainstream Fisheries Ltd of Spilsby, Lincolnshire and resulted in more that 800lbs of silver fish being transferred to No1 and No3 ponds on the Bestwood Complex. The vast majority of the fish that were moved were Roach from 1oz to 1lb with a lot in the 3oz to 5oz range, there were also some skimmers of the same size along with some Perch. Approximately 50 Carp between 10lb and 20lb were returned straight back into No2 Pond along with about 20 Bream between 2lb and 5lb, the handfull of Pike that were netted were also returned with the largest being about 6lb. All the fish caught were in remarkably good condition, the only marked fish being the 6lb Pike that looked as if it had at some time been attacked by another Pike. This Fishery Management exercise takes place every two years and has always produced at least as many fish as we netted this time, long may it continue.
