Hidden Gem Reborn
Over 40 years old, the lakes at Hartsmoor once faced neglect until the current fishery managers, backed by the John Griss Charity, breathed new life into the site. Ponds have been drained, desilted, and in some cases fully re-profiled. Gulleys, bays, and channels now provide prime holding spots for classic mirror and common carp.
As well as careful fisheries management, including a large restocking programme, practical upgrades include:
· Otter-proof fencing
· Stone tracks for safe and reliable vehicle access
· Improved and extended car parks
· Disabled access fishing platforms
