RULES

 

We want everyone to enjoy their fishing and their holiday experience so we endeavour to keep our rules to as few as possible. 

 

The safety and protection of our fish is paramount and therefore some basic rules are essential.

​

Our rules are extremely important and are in place to protect both the welfare of our unique stock and the future of the lake. All anglers are required to read and sign a copy of the rules upon booking.

​

Please understand that these rules are strickly enforced. There will be no warnings or second chances. If any member of your group breaches the rules, we reserve the right to terminate the entire booking immediately, without compensation or refund.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - THERE ARE NO SECOND CHANCES.
