Two apprentices recently fabricated and installed a catch return box for use at the idyllic Cogra Moss, an enclosed forest with a reservoir used by Cockermouth Angling Association.
The box was installed in memory of Eric Brown, former manager of the Cogra Moss fishery who passed away last year. Eric was a member of Cockermouth Angling Association and managed the fishery for many years.
Designed, fabricated and installed by the Shepley Group, the box will be used by anglers to submit reports and provide information about their fishing activity, including the types and numbers of fish caught, released, and kept, as well as the location and date of fishing. These catch returns help to manage fish stocks and monitor fish health.
