Day tickets must be booked with the Day Ticket Manager in advance of fishing, either in person, by post (enclosing a stamped self-addressed envelope), or by telephone. Day ticket anglers must not bring non-angling guests or any other visitors. Day tickets are valid from 30 minutes before SUNRISE to 30 minutes after SUNSET from 16th June to 14th March. The metal gate in the middle of the members car park going through the otter fence is the only access on to Leland water and must be closed at ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO CLOSE THE GATE WILL RESULT IN A BAN FROM LELAND WATER.! General Rules: Day Tickets cover the use of a maximum of TWO RODS ONLY. Anglers are reminded that an Environment Agency rod license is required. The EA visit the lake regularly and will prosecute any angler infringing this rule. The club receives regular and invaluable help from the EA in managing Leland Water and they have our full support in this matter. Leland Water management reserve the right to enforce EA rules on their behalf should the behavior of anglers on the lake demand it. All anglers must carry their day tickets at all times and must produce them when asked by a Leland member or bailiff. Day tickets are NOT transferable. The close season operates at present from 15th March to 15th June inclusive. This may change at the discretion of the committee. Around The Leland Water Site: Day ticket holders must use their separate car park to the right of the gatehouse. Use of vehicles elsewhere on the site is restricted to the Fishery Managers for management purposes only. All anglers must sign IN and OUT in the logbook provided in the Gatehouse and must record details of your catch including any significant weights and a contact number. All anglers must stay within Leland Water boundaries at all times and not interfere with the fence or trespass on adjacent farmland, Corpus Christi Trout Lake or in the woodland. These areas are private. Loud car radios and excessive revving of engines will not be tolerated. people live nearby and good relations with our neighbours is important. No DOGS allowed on Leland Water or any of our lakes. Anglers may NOT dig out or trim swim areas, trees or emergent weed in front of the swims or elsewhere on the site without permission and instruction from the Fishery Manager. Fish Care equipment needed for fishing at Leland Water: All unhooking mats, landing nets and weigh slings must be dry on arrival or dipped in the disinfectant tank near the gate house. Each angler must have access to their own landing net of at least 36 inches and must not be sharing with a friend in another swim. Unhooking mats must be used for tench, bream and Pike. Unhooking mats with raised sides with at least 75mm padding in the bottom or a cradle type mat are needed for carp. We highly recommend to use a bucket/container of lake water to keep fish wet at all times and the use of an antiseptic designed for fish hook holds/body damage to be used on all carp. (See images above). No lead core leaders allowed When Fishing: You must return fish immediately unless photographs are required. In which case, set up cameras before removing fish from the water keeping their time on the bank to a minimum. Introduction to, or removal from, Leland Water of any fish, plant life or other wildlife is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN without express permission of the Fishery Manager. In particular, removal of fish from Leland Water, under any pretext, WILL RESULT IN PROSECUTION. Fish MUST NOT be transferred between the lakes on the site. Anglers may NOT dig out or trim swim areas, trees or emergent weed in front of the swims or elsewhere on the site without permission and instruction from the Fishery Manager. All normal angling methods, baits and ground baits are allowed although excessive baiting or excessive use of nuts is not. Surplus bait MUST NOT be left on the bank at the end of the day as this encourages rats. Remote controlled bait boats re allowed FOR MEMBERS ONLY. Shelters' may be erected IN THE SWIM ONLY, not elsewhere. No other camping is allowed. Swims may not be reserved. Fishing for pike from 1st October to the end of the season only. Anglers may fish only one swim at a time and rods must not be left fishing unattended AT ANY TIME. Litter and discarded line/tackle will not be tolerated. Whether or not the angler fishing the swim was responsible for it or not, HE/SHE MUST REMOVE IT. If tackle is lost out of reach (in trees or on islands), the Fishery Manager must be informed or a note to the effect left on the Gatehouse blackboard. Casting baits into or across the swims of other anglers is not allowed. Unless you are alone on the water, your swim extends no further than the centre of the lake. Be quiet and considerate to others. Bite alarms must not be set louder than necessary or such that they disturb other anglers. Radio's and TV's etc. must not be audible outside the angler's swim. The banging in of pegs, brolly poles etc. while other anglers are fishing, is totally unnecessary. Give occupied swims as wide a berth as possible. These Rules and ticket prices apply from June 2016 until further notice. Alterations to these Rules or any special circumstances (e.g. a short-term keep net ban) will be displayed on the Gatehouse notice board along with details of any organized matches and periods of Lake Closures. Waterbeach Angling Club reserves the right to change these rules at any time and without reference. The Club is very keen to preserve the generally quiet and enjoyable atmosphere that has prevailed at Leland Water so far and these Rules and Notes of Guidance are drawn up to further this aim. Please understand that the Club WILL NOT tolerate willful disregard of these Rules and may, in extreme circumstances, following a formal warning, BAN any Member or Ticket holder from the water.
