Respect the fish

  • Before lifting a fish from the water, ensure you have transferred it to a weigh sling into the cradle! Make sure all fins are flat against the body! Use carp care kits on body or mouth if required! Ensure you have a bucket of water to hand!
  • Barbless hooks only
  • Rods not to be left un attended at any time
  • Ensure the carp can free itself from the lead if the line breaks, fish safety is our priority
  • No lead core
  • Landing nets, unhooking mats and weigh slings are all provided on site and we insist these are used to reduce the risk of contamination from other waters
  • The rowing boat is not for recreational use (especially by children) but is there for use should you need to retrieve floating equipment or snagged lines in trees/bushes. Life jackets are hanging in the bait freezer shed and we insist that one is worn when out on the water
  • Only baits supplied, or fresh/freezer baits allowed
  • No sacking of fish at night for daytime photographs
  • Minimum of 15lb main line to be used

Respect the venue

  • No fish to be taken from the lake or transferred between lakes without the lake owner’s permission.
  • No fishing allowed in the stock pond without prior permission from the owners
