Rußweiher: Fishing and renovation work will start in October 2024
In an important announcement, the Eschenbach sports fishing club announced that a comprehensive fishing campaign will take place in the Rußweiher on October 4, 2024. This measure is part of a larger plan to maintain and rehabilitate the waterway, which is important for local fishing and recreation.
Following the fishing, the Obersee will be lowered from October 6th to 14th, 2024. This lowering is necessary to direct water into the Rußweiher, which in turn enables renovation work to be carried out. This work, which also takes place below the boathouses, is planned for the period from October 14th to mid-December 2024. After these renovation measures have been completed, the Rußweiher will be dammed again in order to normalize the water levels.
Details on fishing and remediation
Fishing the Sooty Pond is a crucial step in controlling the fish population and improving water quality. The Eschenbach sports fishing club will play a central role in ensuring that the event runs smoothly. Lowering Lake Superior is also an important part of the plan as it allows necessary repairs and maintenance to be carried out.
The renovation work is designed to improve the infrastructure around the Rußweiher and to optimize the conditions for anglers and nature. Restoring the water level after the work will help ensure that the Rußweiher can be used to its full extent again.
These measures are part of a long-term commitment by the city and the sport fishing club to preserve and care for the waters in the region. Citizens are asked to prepare for the upcoming work and to pay attention to the relevant information.
