Work continues some more…

Chalet Lake is empty now and will be left empty for a couple of months to let oxygen get into the silt and start to break down some of the organic load that has built up in the last twenty years. If the frost gets into it, so much the better. We will start filling again at Christmas.

The gap left by all the silver fish and cats will mean that the carp will have plenty of natural food and room to grow again. Additionally, anglers bait will be snaffled by carp and not other nuisance fish. This is all really good news. If we can find some properly nice fish, we will introduce some more carp as well. I expect to see the growth rates rocket again next year.
