• 3 rods maximum. Rods must not be left unattended at any time.
• The use of lead core leaders and shock leaders is banned; shock leaders may be used for spods and bait rockets. Any coated leaders are safe to use as long as the lead passes over the knot, safe coated leaders are sold onsite, if in doubt ask.
• 15lb minimum breaking strain for reel line. No braid to be used as reel line but is ok for rigs and marker rods.
• Barbless or crushed barb hooks only. No death rigs. Tubing must be used on mainline to protect fish - if in doubt ask.
• The use of live baits is permitted but no treble hooks or wire traces.
• Bait boats are allowed as long as they are used sensibly. No permanent markers
• Unhooking mats and weigh slings must be used at all times. Antiseptic should be used on all wounds and hook damage (supplied free on venue).
• The sacking of fish is not permitted. Grass carp must not be sacked under any circumstances.
• No peanuts or tigers are allowed on the venue. No self prepared particles to be taken. We do sell safely prepared particles onsite.
• Please use toilet facilities supplied. No fires. Violent behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in your removal from the venue.
• No litter or cigarette butts to be left in your swim, refuse sacks are available free of charge and it keeps the fishery tidy. Glass bottles must be kept separate, again a bag is supplied.
• Whilst social drinking on the complex is not a problem, and is one of many watercraft skills every angler has mastered, your own & the fish’s safety is of most importance. Any angler found to be to intoxicated will be asked to sleep it off until he is able to fish safely and competently.
• At the end of your trip please do not discard any unwanted bait into the lakes, all unwanted bait should be given to the bailiff for disposal into our stock ponds. This avoids the fish being over fed at the end of the week and spoiling the next week’s fishing.

We hope these rules are not too regimental but they are there to protect the welfare of the fish and to ensure that everybody enjoys good fishing, if you are not sure about anything please ask the bailiff.
