Fisheries

Bradan Aquasurveys specialises in environmental services for game fisheries.  Whether you are concerned about the impact of a discharge to your water or you would like to find out more about the invertebrate life of your fishery, Bradan Aquasurveys should be your first call.

 

specific investigations

Has there been a decline in fly-life at your fishery?  Do you think someone is polluting your fishery but can't prove it?  Bradan Aquasurveys can answer these questions with aquatic invertebrate surveys.

 

fishery health checks

Pollution is only one of the many influences that can affect the invertebrate population of a fishery.  Other influences include habitat loss, abstraction, bankside grazing, acidification, nutrient enrichments and climate change.  Find out how healthy your fishery is with an invertebrate survey.

 

meet the invertebrates

For over 500 years fly fishers have endeavoured to 'match the hatch'.  Let us introduce you to the invertebrates of your fishery.  We'll guarantee that it will make you think before choosing your next fly!

 

fly calendars

The information collected from an invertebrate survey allows a 'fly calendar' to be compiled.  Fly calendars are used to predict which insect species will be active when the angler is fishing.  For example, if your fishery holds a population of the Sepia Dun (Leptophlebia marginata) then it would be worthwhile trying a Mallard and Claret when fishing between April and June.

 

conservation and management advice

Anglers are natural guardians of the water environment.  Find out how you can protect and enhance the invertebrate life of your fishery with an advisory visit from Bradan Aquasurveys.

Bradan Aquasurveys and our associates can help you with all aspects of fishery management.  We can offer advice and practical help to improve your fishery, including weed control, stocking programmes,  catch analysis and publicity.
