Loyalty Card Holders have certain privileges along with the benefits of discounted prices.

This would only happen in extreme circumstances. Anglers may use up to three rods on Mirror Lake or up to two rods on Foxes or Shadows Lake. Rods must be attended at all times. Only fish from the designated pegs and respect anglers around your chosen swim. Check where others are fishing if in doubt before casting. Keep nets are allowed for fish less than 4 pound. No using of carp sacks unless you are holding the fish to alert the owners of an ill or damaged fish. Rigs must be as safe as possible for the fish and other wildlife. Fixed leads that are not released if the line should break are not permitted. Other rigs may be reviewed if they are seen to damage stock and wildlife. Do not use excessive amounts of bait. Please remove left over baits from the bank. Use the bins or take it home, please do not throw it in the lake at the end of your visit. Bait boats and spodding may only be used if overly large amounts of bait are not being introduced. Users of both spodding and bait boats should also be considerate to other anglers and not overuse them if they are disturbing another anglers swim. Over baiting can affect water quality, fish health and has not proven to be better than other baiting techniques. Some bait's are banned; Tiger nuts, peanuts, chickpeas and incorrectly prepared homemade particle baits. Packaged particle baits are preferred if not over used. Cat food and other meat products can only be used as hook bait. Hooks must be of appropriate size and quality, barbless, micro barbed or crushed barbed hooks only. Return fish to the water as soon as is possible. Weighing and photographing of fish should be done quickly and carefully to protect the fish stock. Please have your camera and other equipment ready to use. Landing nets and mats must be used on all lakes. The use of lead core has been reviewed and due to damaged fish and the general view that lead core damages fish, leaves snags, and harms birdlife it is now banned. Anglers should always have Klinik or an alternative product to repair cuts and abrasions on fish before returning them to the water. Please report ill or badly damaged fish to the bailiffs. Enjoy Your Fishing And Your Visit to Felthorpe Lakes and Please Help Others To Enjoy Their Visit.
