To further enhance the biosecurity of our lakes up at Cadover we have now installed dip tanks, there is one located next to the toilet block in the main car park, the second one is located by the car park for Lower Lake. It is essential that all equipment that comes into contact with the water and the fish (Weighing slings, unhooking mats, keepnets, landing nets) is dipped before and after every session. Anything that can not be dipped into the solution must be brushed liberally with the solution using the attached brushes. The use of the dip tanks is mandatory and will be enforced by club Bailiffs.
For best practises please follow these instructions: 1) Check your gear first and remove any heavy mud, weed or debris prior to dipping. 2) Fully submerge all gear that can fit into the tanks and not just a quick splash. 3) Allow proper contact time, gear should be fully immersed for at least a three to fifteen minutes, again anything that does not fit into the tank, such as cradles, should have solution liberally applied using the attached brushes. 4) Let excess solution drip off safely near the tank before using it and make sure to close the lid securing it back into place using the bungee cords.
Repeat the above steps after you have finished your session.
With regards to keepnets, now that the water temperatures have cooled down the use of keepnets is again allowed on all lakes with the exception of Cadover Main Lake, NO keepnets are allowed to be used on main lake until further notice and anyone caught using a keepnet on Main Lake will face disciplinary procedures.
Thank you in anticipation of you following all the above points.
