Great news Mark.... it would be great if Redmire was opened once more for fishing, but who knows what the future holds...

Thank you

We have confirmed some Redmire myths and fables!

Pitchford's Pit really is bottomless?

Great to get these updates, its very important and I think you're all doing a fantastic job.

Great news. Well done Skeff and team. Keep it up!

Thanks for the update, good to hear you've left some of the existing organic matter in as I once witnessed a small lake drained and every last drop of silt pumped out. It then suffered years of algal blooms and water quality issues.

Exactly that Greg!!! There is a major spring there and the force of water is just incredible! We will be working in that area next week but I can easily imagine a huge pit in the lake bed scoured out by the force of the spring... Interestingly items been a real summer hotshot for me....

This explains why the monsters went years without being seen. They were leaving the pool via the spring entering Pitchfords pit and going elsewhere before returning a few years later!
