Yes agree Stuart, all Jason the Fishery Manager asks is that birders etc pop in the office and introduce themselves ... the Dogs do there job & let him know who is around.
At the end of the day it is a trout fishery and not a Bird reserve.
Just catching up with all the news after computer was out of action for two months.
When I've visited Toft alone the dogs scare the hell out of me, tethered or not, the Alsatian especially seems very aggresive and the two together certainly do their job by putting me off going altogether! I only go when accompanied now. Having been bitten by a guard dog which was on a long chain, in my teenage years makes me frightened of guard dogs, even though the Alsatian is my favourite type of dog. And know I wasn't mis-behaving I was working nights at a local sand quarry helping put up a tower.
As regards the fishermen I've always found them courteous and if they are casting I ask if it's okay to pass. It's rare that I pop in to the office and introduce myself didn't realise I had to. Although I've rarely visited any trout fisheries it would be interesting to know how many have bird hides.
