End of season maintenance work starts @ Genets Carp Lake

October 30, 2016

We are at the end of our first week of our closed season at Genets Carp fishing Lake & the start of maintenance work has well & truly begun!!!

The weather has been very kind to us, dry, warm & sunny most of the time, without those cold easterly winds of the previous 2 weeks. So we’ve made a good start giving the lake what we call it’s “winter haircut” cutting down most of the reeds & grasses in & around the edges of the lake & I must just mention what a slave driver Larry is ( I guess I should be used to it by now) although he did at least give me a bit of time out to spend trying out my new present…..a petrol leaf blower……so follows a good couple of months of daily leaf clearing & burning.

As it was dry we also had our very own bonfire day, no fireworks though :-( burning the ever accumulating mountain of cut branches etc in the field.
