PLANNING\u00a0 AND FINANCIAL ISSUES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Type of development<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you are a private fishery,\u00a0 or an Association creating or upgrading a fishery,\u00a0 you will\u00a0 need to be sure of the type of fishery that you are developing, and for what type of angler you intend to develop. A fishery\u00a0 can be primarily for match anglers, for specialist carp anglers, for a specific species,\u00a0 for junior coaching or for purely pleasure fishing. A mixture of the different types of user can be achieved but only if it is carefully\u00a0 thought through , e.g. angling stations used for matches on certain days,\u00a0 and for pleasure anglers or junior angling development,\u00a0 on other days. Alternatively separate areas can\u00a0 used for pleasure\u00a0 or match fishing.\u00a0 Communication is key in mixed type fisheries so people do not attend on the wrong days, or use the wrong areas for pleasure fishing or match fishing; it creates friction which should always be avoided.\u00a0 Do not be too ambitious in your developments, make sure your expectations are realistic. Ensure you have planning consent for any\u00a0 work that you need to undertake, where it is appropriate. Liaise with the Environment Agency on stocks that you intend to introduce, etc.<\/p>\n

If you have a range of waters, then each water should be carefully evaluated to get the best from the fisheries, should each be used as a match water, a specimen water, a pleasure fishing water,\u00a0 a water for junior coaching, etc. Liaise with the Environment Agency if fish transfers between different waters are considered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Costs and returns<\/strong><\/p>\n

The type of fishery will have a major impact on your expenditure. For example- fish stock types, types of angling stations, environmental changes, inflows and outflows, etc.<\/p>\n

Obviously\u00a0 it is essential that you know your expected costs for the development together with the the expected\u00a0 returns from your angling users, it is pointless spending thousands and thousands of pounds on fish stocks and other changes if the returns do not justify the investment.<\/p>\n

Associations sometimes see their role as a local amenity. which is supported either financially or\u00a0 practically by the local authority in some way.\u00a0 Obviously that is good for the locality and the reputation of your Association, but it must be affordable for the angling organisation to continue in the longer term.<\/p>\n

Ensure that\u00a0 your charges for the anglers using the fishery are realistic and value for money for both the anglers and your angling\u00a0 organisation. Knowing the charges made by other Angling Associations in your\u00a0 area for similar type\u00a0 waters , or\u00a0 the charges made by other waters visited\u00a0 \u00a0by\u00a0 your expected anglers is very important .\u00a0 \u00a0Don’t be over ambitious on the numbers of anglers who you expect to use your waters. Make sure that all your development costs and income estimates\u00a0 are checked by all\u00a0 your committee, and not left to only the treasurer or single official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
