Petworth and Bognor Angling Club

We have been made aware of rumours circulating with regard to KHV at Hurston Lane.

The Facts are....

A small number of fish had been spotted at Hurston with some form of Fungal growth.

We have reported this incident to the Environment Agency.

Representatives from the Environment Agency have been to Hurston and have examined the fish.

They have confirmed that the fish do have a low level fungal infection, which is quite common at this time of year and nothing to be concerned about. Because of the cold weather the fish have been largely inactive and some fungi can take this opportunity to build up on the surface of the fish. We have been informed once the fish become active as the weather warms they will literally swim the fungus off.

We would like to assure Members...

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE OF KHV AT HURSTON LANE

We will however, as usual, be monitoring the situation at all our fisheries and strongly advise Members to adhere to the advice we gave earlier regarding KHV. To refresh your memories please read that advice HERE before going fishing.

Our first work party of 2010 is at Hurston Lane Fishery this Sunday 14th February

We aim to start about 8:30am and finish as usual around lunchtime, if you can only come for a couple of hours then please do so, every little helps.

Unfortunately our first scheduled work party for Hurston Lane was cancelled a couple of weeks ago due to inclement weather so we have a bit of catching up to do in the next few weeks. We like to have the majority of the pruning and cutting back of seasonal growth done before the birds start nesting and other flora and fauna stir from their winter slumber.

Refreshments will be provided. If you have any useful tools such as a rake, fork, bow saw or loppers etc. then please bring them along.

Due to the recent inclement weather the work party scheduled for this Sunday 17th January has been cancelled.
The next work party is at Hurston Lane on 14th February. Please keep an eye on the website for news of future dates for work parties.
