One of our owners, Dagan at Oakwood asked me the following question;
We want to have a net dip on site. Obviously there are many different ways of making up net dips but are you able to let me know of what any of your other venues are using in France?
I sent the question out to all our lake owners & here’s a selection of the responses… I must admit I’ve been surprised at the range of views;
**************************
We find the safest way is to provide the net heads and the anglers bring their own handles this eliminates the use of net dips. But if you do need a good disinfectant Malachite Gold is the one to use.
**************************
Best way is permanganate de potassium. Easy, cheap and the most effective.
You put a small amount of powder in a 200l tank and dip what you want for few minutes.
I use it to dip ill fish and have saved several. It kills mushrooms, bacteria’s, parasites etc.
A very small quantity of powder is needed for hundred litres of water. A kilo will last years.
**************************
There is no need for dips !!!
Just make sure all nets are bone dry for 48 hours and there is no need for dips in our experience.
