Barrier net saves fish leaving Four Springs Lake
The new installation of barrier net on the Four Springs Lake spillway was inspected by IFS staff during the week. Four Springs Lake is at maximum capacity and has a large flow going down the spillway.The net was found to be working effectively with no fish found downstream of it.The net is a barrier net and does not trap fish but stops their movement over the spillway. The barrier net was installed in April 2013 and is one of a series of measures that The Inland Fisheries Service is using to maximise the fishing potential of Four Springs Lake.
