Action on Cormorants

Useful Cormorant Information

Here is some good information on cormorants and measures that can be taken to protect fish stocks.

Like many fisheries up and down the country, there have been sightings of cormorants on TWAPS waters, which could, potentially, severely damage fish stocks.

If you are concerned about this issue, you can take action by writing to your MP. You can find who your MP is, and his or her contact details here (opens in a new window).

Click this template (in Microsoft Word format) to download a template letter which you can use to send to your MP.

In the meantime, the Committee are currently taking advice on how to deal with this issue.

If you see any cormorants on any Society waters, please inform the Head Bailiff or Assistant Head Bailiff. The relevant telephone numbers are on the front of your membership card.

Dip tanks at the Inn on the Lake and Cobham

Members

It is compulsory for you to use the dip tanks provided at both the Inn on the Lake and Cobham fisheries. Please use them to dip your landing nets, unhooking mats (and cradles etc.) and weigh slings upon arrival at the fishery and certainly BEFORE placing your nets in the water or when you start fishing.

If you are found not to have done this you will be asked to leave the fishery.

Repeat offenders may be subject to disciplinary action.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Paddock Wood Fishery – Fishing currently suspended

Members

It is with regret that with immediate effect fishing at the Paddock Wood fishery is suspended until further notice.

This is due to the Committee being recently informed of a change of owners of the site and affects both the lake and the River Medway.

The Committee is currently in discussions with the new owners, and we will keep TWAPS Members updated.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
