20/03/2026 - * PLEASE KNOW THAT THE BAIT POOL IS CLOSED.

I've pondered over this for a few months now, but have made the decision to not longer offer Bait fishing at The Tarn. As most of you will have read from various other fisheries posts, with the current cost of fish & all opperating costs really, I just can't offer bait fishing at what I see as an affordable price. The reality is, overall we actually lose money on the bait pool and as fuel prices also keep increasing, this will keep putting up the cost to the fishery further and we simply cannot keep absorbing the extra costs any longer.
Allandale Tarn has been a trout fishery for around 38 ish years. I was still at primary school when my folks moved us here, built our home & started the fishery. We hope to make it to 50 years under the same owners by the time I'm ready to retire.  But ths means we have to make some changes to ensure the fisheries future.
Thankyou for your understanding.
Iona & Ian @ The Tarn.
