Work is almost complete at the ponds at Cawdor, this has involved the lowering of water levels at the ponds to allow new pathways to be constructed between and alongside the ponds. All the pegs have had improvements made, including four pegs for wheelchair anglers with stops.Pipes have been laid between the two ponds to allow the control of levels and work on the outlet to allow the raising and lowering of the levels.The areas surrounding the pegs are being soiled and seeded and anglers are asked to keep off these areas and use the platforms and pathways when fishing . The lanes and pathways are also going to be improved so hopefully this year members will benefit from the work on the surroundings of the ponds .   

Members are reminded that Cawdor ponds are closed for fishing during March
