If you have visited the fishery in the last couple of weeks, you would have noticed the lake level is low.  We have been managing a leak in the lake for some time now but it is very obvious the leak is getting worse.  As you can imagine, a leak in a lake the size of ours is like looking for a needle in a haystack with a blindfold on.  Last week we had a diver come to scout the bottom but unfortunately, visibility was too poor to see anything of significance.  We have, however, ordered a 'miracle' product from Australia (due to arrive today) that gives us hope we can mend the leak(s) without needing to drain the lake completely but only time will tell if it works. 

With the depth of lake currently at around 15 ft, we feel the lake is still fishable for now.  Only 15 fish have been taken since a double restock in September and the weather is set to cool off meaning plenty of fish to be had as conditions improve for fishing.

It's unfair to assume business can continue as normal for the next few weeks as we pride ourselves on offering the very best experience to all our anglers.  We have decided to leave it up to you if you want to come so we will remain open for the time being.  Everything is as it was except the lake is smaller and you will have to walk onto the clay to cast.  We are well aware that it's not ideal so that's why it's up to you. We will post regular picture updates on facebook to show the level on the lake on a continued basis.

 With that in mind, we will reduce our prices for the foreseeable, until we can get things back to normal.

As many of you know, over the last 6.5 years, we have poured our hearts into Blackdyke.  We have done everything possible to improve the fishery and most important to us, give you the best experience possible.  We have such a wonderful, friendly, loyal fishing community who have all contributed to the success of the fishery.  We have spoken to many of those customers over the last two weeks and the out pouring of support has been heartfelt and greatly appreciated.   Needless to say, it has been an emotional last few weeks as we look at our options but I'm sure you can all agree, we must fight to keep what we all love. We can assure you, everything that can be done, will be done.
