It is with regret that ODAS have to permanently close the New Moreton fishery due the actions of ‘hare coursing’ vandals who have caused considerable damage to crops on the surrounding fields.
The fishery gate has been constantly vandalised by the ‘hare coursing’ vandals to access the fields requiring the farmer to lay a large concrete block across the gateway to prevent further trespass.
The farmer has told ODAS that from immediate effect the New Moreton lake is not to be accessed again for fishing.
Please do not attempt to try and fish the lake even by foot as it is not part of the ODAS waters anymore and it will be considered as trespassing if you are caught at the Lake.
The arrangements for Old Moreton Lake and the ‘Bomb Hole’ remain unchanged.
