点评:The Barlow site has changed a lot under the new owners. If you're a fly fisherman, it has not changed for the better. There used to be three trout lakes. One was a decent size. The other two were quite small. The larger trout lake has now been merged with a course lake leaving only the two tiny lakes for trout fishing. That was a huge dissapointment when I saw the change. To make matters worse, the two 'trout' lakes only seemed to be stocked with young carp. Not one member of our group even saw a trout all day let alone caught one. One of the course fishermen actually advised us not to bother as he is a regular and hadn't seen anyone catch a trout for quite some time. I honestly don't think there were any trout in the lakes. The lakes get pretty shallow in places and we didn't see any trout.
To add insult to injury, the new owners have pretty much halved the amount of water to fly fish and they've actually put the fly fishing fees up! Granted, the previous owners used to buy in some pretty small fish when they restocked the lakes. But at least there were usually some trout around to get a line out to. Considering that there is an outstanding fly fishing location not too far away by car, we were left with the impression that the owners are slowly converting the whole site to course fishing. That might be wrong, but when you only see course fish in a fly fishing lake, what else are you supposed to think?
翻译:巴洛网站在新主人的领导下发生了很大变化。如果您是飞钓者,情况并没有变好。曾经有三个鳟鱼湖。一个是一个体面的大小。另外两个很小。较大的鳟鱼湖现在已与一个课程湖合并,只留下两个小湖用于钓鳟鱼。当我看到变化时,那是一个巨大的失望。更糟糕的是,这两个“鳟鱼”湖似乎只放养了小鲤鱼。我们团队中没有一个人整天都看到鳟鱼,更不用说抓到一条了。其中一位渔民实际上建议我们不要打扰,因为他是常客并且已经有一段时间没有看到有人钓到鳟鱼了。老实说,我认为湖里没有鳟鱼。湖泊有些地方变得很浅,我们没有看到任何鳟鱼。
雪上加霜的是,新业主几乎将飞鱼的水量减半,而且他们实际上还提高了飞鱼捕鱼费!诚然,以前的主人在放养湖泊时常常会买一些漂亮的小鱼。但至少周围通常有一些鳟鱼可以钓到。考虑到驾车不远处有一个出色的飞蝇钓地点,我们的印象是业主正在慢慢将整个场地转变为钓场。这可能是错误的,但是当你在飞钓湖中只看到粗鱼时,你还能想到什么?
