Chanelle Maver, the fishery manager, said the company had completed the work on Friday and the fishery had been given the all-clear to re-open.

She added: “There was flooding and damage to the road into the fishery and it needed a lot of work to fix it.

“We had to close the facility for the safety of anglers but everything has been fixed apart from some of the paths and this will be done over the next few days.”

She said that the popular water will be open from 8am to 8pm but the closing time would vary as the nights get shorter.
