  • No access will be allowed during working hours. (8am to 6pm Mon-Fri, 8am to 2pm Saturday)
  • Machinery will be left in the main Clypse car park, so space for parking might be an issue.

All Moved to Injebreck

It has been reported that they have stopped stocking Clypse and Kerrowdhoo. All competitions will be held at Injebreck for the rest of the season. Unless Sulby opens.....but I can't see that happening, can you?
12/08/2001
Clypse and Kerrowdhoo Empty?

There is a possibility that Clypse and Kerrowdhoo will be closing. This is due to the Water Board deciding to drain them to carry out yet more repairs. If this proves to be true then all competitions will be at Injebreck. Unfortunatly I will be on holiday for the next competition and so will not be able to confirm this rumour. Please contact The Roland Westcott Tackle Company for updates.

09/07/2001
Injebreck Water Levels

Water levels at Injebreck have fallen enough so the next scheduled competition can be held, as planned, at Injebreck. Sulby is still closed, so all Sulby specified competitions will be held at Clypse and Kerrowdhoo.

First Competitiom Cancellation

Unfortunatly the competition scheduled for the 13/5/2001 will still have to be cancelled, on the recomendation of John Ballard (Fisheries Manager), who belives that the reservoirs will be too busy to accomodate a competition so soon after opening.

An EXTRA competition will be scheduled for 20/5/2001 to make up the number of competitions we can fish in the season. This will be on Clypse & Kerrowdhoo between 2pm and 5pm. I look forward to seeing you all there.
