Fish Care: Always use a large well padded unhooking mat. Always position the mat sensibly. Always place landed fish on the unhooking mat. Always treat "hookmarks" with anti-bacterial solution. Always take great care handling "Pectoral and Pelvic" fins on fish when photographing. Always keep carp cool especially in hot weather, using water when photographing. Fishing Rules: No inflatable dinghys or boats. No loud music. No tents or gazebos, only proper angling bivvies. No pets. No fires - barbecues only and they must not be allowed to scorch the grass. No excessive drinking. No disorderly behaviour. No swimming - snagged fish, notify the shop. No tigernuts or peanuts. No fixed lead rigs. We reserve the right to check rigs. No litter, please use bins provided. No rods to be left unattended - we will reel them in and you will be asked to leave, with no refund. No keepnets. No excessive use of particles. Fishing from numbered swims only. Unhooking mats to be used at all times during weighing and photographing. Sacking of fish limited to 15 minutes. Fish must be retained in deep water with sufficient length of cord and large float attached to carp sack. Children are only permitted if actually fishing and have a paid day ticket in their own name.

No walking around Yew Tree to look for fish or baiting up, these areas are private - residents only. Marsh lake swims 1/2/7/8, bivvies on gravel only, not on footpath. No sacking of any fish.
