Suspension of Stocking at Thornton Steward Reservoir
Although regular stocking took place throughout the first half of this year, we have experienced continuing reduced catch returns despite reasonable rod effort.
The Committee has made the lessor aware of the situation.
As a result of the above, the Committee has decided against further stocking at Thornton Steward Reservoir until further notice.
Whilst we are obliged by our lease to continue to offer day tickets for sale to the general public, we are issuing this notice as a caution that the fishing may well not live up to the high standards of the past.
Members may, of course, continue to fish as usual.
