    Shame do you know why? I have fond memories of the old place.
    Guess an early visit to arlington is on the cards then.
    Thanks for your info

    As far as I know it was closed to anglers due to falling ticket sales and the need to spend money on upgrading the safety issues.

    Arlington is still open and fishing well, so the grapevine tells me.

    I think the algae problem was also an issue. Shame, the rainbows in there were proper agressive fry feeders! There was local rumour of some cracking course fish in there as well. Fish from there were distinctly "earthy" to eat though.
