Polehill Coarse Fishery

At last! Hedge cut again. Getting close to cars coming down the lane. 🍃

Please make sure your net head is dipped in the anti bacterial wash. As per usual we will be checking on this. Many thanks.

We found this 30g large feeder together with 40m of 15-20lb line tangled up on the bushes at the top of the lake. It had been cast from peg 9. The feeder was fixed. This means if the line had broke in a fish the fish would be trailing the lead. A poor predicament for it. We have tried making the offending permit buyers read and sign the rules but it’s not working.
As of Monday we will need to have a small aptitude test for potential beginners and, unfortunately, seasoned anglers.
It will a diagram of a running rig where the permit buyer will be left in no doubt how to attach the feeder.
We have been doing limited inspections on the lake. It will be increased and offenders breaking any rule will be asked to leave. No exceptions. We are sorry if this inconveniences the guys that don’t break the rules but some ruin it for all.
Tight lines

Morning folks, We’d like to remind everyone that the Polehill opening hours are 9am to 8pm.

Super to see a local disabled angling federation starting here in Northern Ireland. Feel free to contacting them. 🎣

Good evening.
My name's Phil Glover At the age of 18 i was in a serious work accident causing life changing injuries. Not only was i faced with the injuries but the struggles of adapting to the outside world being made disabled .
Growing up in a wee town called Comber my fishing journey started from i was around 9 years old on the Inler River where i became a junior member.
My father a keen angler at the time, watching him come home with his catch just gave me the courage to pick up a rod.
From there a female friend from school started giving me fly fishing lessons in the car park at home. I then went onto Carrickmannon Fishery just outside Ballygowan were i entered a few competitions as the passion was continuely growing for the sport until the day of my accident

Fishing has always been my passion

Over the last few years my passion for fishing has only grown fonder and came back much larger. I have been afforded some great opportunities to compete , volunteer and become a fully registered Level 2 Lead Coach with the Ulster Angling Federation. Along the way I have met some amazing people through the angling community who share in my passion for angling. It is with their support that we launched this association . We will introduce the members over the coming weeks.

As a disabled angler I have and continue to face challenges to fish. In creating this community we can work together to overcome the challenges that people with disabilities face to "feel the pull". Not only fishing but getting out to enjoy nature and meet like minded people . And most of all to support each other.

Hi folks. Please take notice that there are no facilities in Polehill for dumping your rubbish. Please take your rubbish home.

Not a bad start to a short Polehill sesh 😎
