Dog Kennel - 2015 Rules: The Fitzwilliam Wentworth Estate requires all permit holders to familiarize themselves with the fishery rules set out below. Purchase of a permit signifies acceptance of all rules and there is a zero tolerance policy on litter and aggressive behaviour. Permit Rules: Triple rod day and night fishing. Booking on: All members must book on 24 hours before commencing a 'session'. This can be done either by text or a telephone call to number 07747 793540. Please state your full name, lake and the days you intend to fish. Full Membership allows night-time fishing to a maximum of 72 hours with 3 rods, after which an angler must leave the lake for a minimum period of 24 hours. A 'session' is always counted from the time of arrival on the first day to the time of departure on the third day, both of which must be in daylight hours. Parking:Vehicles can only be parked in the designated car park at the top of Mill Dam. Strictly no vehicular movement in the hours of darkness. Access: Access to Dog Kennel is via designated anglers paths only using the key provided (see map for location and outof bounds areas). All gates must be closed and locked at all times. There is NO ACCESS onto the lakes by vehicle unless fishing. Combination codes must not be provided to any visitors under any circumstances. Visits by a non permit holder to an angler are not permitted unless permission has been granted by the fishery manager. Members are requested to assist in bailiffing the water themselves by reporting anglers who flaunt the rules, trespassers, hooligans, etc. and, in particular, movement of anglers and vehicles after hours of darkness. Takeaway deliveries are not permitted on Estate grounds. Anglers leaving site during the hours of darkness must reel in. Litter: LITTERING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ANGLERS IN BREACH OF THIS RULE WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE FISHERY AND BANNED.

Fish Movement:No fish are to be moved between lakes. Anyone moving fish will be automatically banned for life and could face prosecution.
