Rules: Fishery Rules: OK, welcome to the boring bit. Please do, however, take a few minutes to read as it may save embarrassment on the bank. As we are a friendly fishery we have tried to keep the rules fairly basic and simple so that we can cater for the majority of the needs of the many different types of angler. Please remember, these rules are for the benefit of all users and the welfare of the fish and wildlife. General Rules:: Please respect other anglers, their families and property. Anti social behaviour will not be tolerated. Do not leave litter, especially discarded line, hooks or unused bait. please take it home with you, or use the bins provided.

Disabled anglers are permitted to drive to their pegs for the purposes of loading/unloading (gate combination available on request) and all vehicles must be returned to the car park (ie not left at the peg) in order not to restrict access for others. Please note all vehicles and contents are left at owners risk. Any tents, Bivvies, picnic rugs etc should be positioned so as not to restrict others access Camp stoves, BBQ's etc are permitted.
