Details: Major works at Hooked in France

As announced earlier in the year we are closing for the year on the 3rd october to commence the major works which is mainly the depths and removing all the weed.

We are also making a bay in the islnd's on the double island side giving more and deeper water.

The double islsnd swim will be made bigger and we are currently contemplating making the Natural swim a double as we are slicing the end of the island there as well.

So all in all deeper waters, no weed, more water and not forgetting the new fish to be stocked in feb/march 2009.

Will keep you all upto date with the works via Angling Lines's website.

Any questions please feel free to contact me via my email ian@hookedinfrance.co.uk
