KHV Outbreaks

Posted by: Sarah Thomson, 13th July 2006 09:00AM

Given the current KHV outbreaks we are putting warning signs around the fishery to ensure that all anglers ensure they COMPLETELY dry their keepnets and landing nets between fishing trips. All virus' and bacteria and most parasites die on a dry host. This is part of our Match rules and is best practice for anglers. Please make sure you do your bit in conservering fish stocks.
