The EA will be carrying out a fish netting survey at Dunkirk Pond on Wednesday 2nd March. They will be on site around 8.30am. No fishing during the work. Please do not park in front of the access gate on Jesse Boot Avenue. Leave enough room for at least 4/5 vehicles so the EA can park as close as possible to the gate to unload their equipment, boats, nets etc.
Like many others, since 2014, we have raised serious concerns with Nottinghamshire County Council about the potential damage to Holme Pit SSSI and the Trent Valley. These concerns have still not been addressed by the current planning application. If you want to have your say, the closing date is 10th September 2021. Further information, including how to have your say, is available at www.barton-in-fabis.net/.
COVID-19 guidance from the Angling Trust (updated 25th March)
anglingtrust.net/covid-19/ Overnight fishing will resume on the 29th March 2021. COVID-19. In accordance with guidance issued by the Angling Trust on 5th January 2021, fishing is not permitted on TVA waters until further notice. Link to the Angling Trust guidance anglingtrust.net/covid-19/.

Dunkirk Pond, Beeston Sidings Nature Reserve, University Boulevard, Nottingham. We are please to announce that HPAG will be taking on the fishing rights at Dunkirk Pond, subject to agreeing the terms. Further information to follow. When Government announced that fishing was allowed during the lock down restrictions, on 13th May the Angling Trust asked the Government to clarify if night fishing is allowed during the restrictions because camping (and staying out, away from home) is not allowed. Camping / staying out overnight is allowed only if you are (legally) fishing. The river season doesn't start until midnight on the 15th June. Therefore, until midnight 15th June anyone in a bivvy, under a brolly or other shelter on the river bank is classed as camping and not fishing. To comply with lock down restrictions and AT guidance, we ask that members do not set up until 7am on Monday 15th June (obviously no fishing until midnight).
From March to September each year we treat the filamentous algae at Holme Pit with a product called Excalibur, a liquid barley straw. The spraying takes place from a boat and usually takes around 2/3 hours to complete. You will be asked to bring your rods in during the spraying. Its safe for the fish and doesn't affect the fishing.
Spraying will take place on the followings days at 9.30 am. Please note - dates are subject to change so if you want to check before you go fishing, call Sion on 07447 013909. Friday 22nd May 2020 Friday 5th June 2020 Friday 19th June 2020 Friday 3rd July 2020 and then every two weeks during the growing season. New rules have been added for fishing during COVID19 - click here for new rules
