General Rules

• ALL KEEPNETS, LANDING NETS AND STINK BAGS MUST BE DRIED BEFORE FISHING ON THE BANK BEHIND YOU UNTIL 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF ANY MATCHES OR SESSIONS. This is to prevent the spread of KHV (Koi Herpes Virus) to our fishery. Thank you.
• All feeder and bomb rigs MUST be free running, NOT fixed or elasticated. You cannot have any knots or stops above your feeder/bomb. Use a bead or stop below it, don’t push a swivel into a feeder.
• The only banned baits are ALL forms of meat including luncheon meat, cat meat and dog meat and any fake artificial baits such as plastic pellets, corn or maggots. No superglue to be used on any baits.
• Garbolino Lindholme feed pellets only (these are high quality match pellets and come in 2mm, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm sizes). Spot checks are regularly made and if you are found to be using other feed pellets you will be asked to leave the fishery.
• Groundbait to be used in a feeder or pole cup only (this includes soil).
• Barbless hooks only, maximum size 10.
• Keepnets are only allowed in matches and are to be dipped or dried thoroughly beforehand. Use at least two nets and please dry them out while you tackle up.
• Floating baits to be used only in club matches and pleasure fishing. Only use them in moderation and be considerate of other anglers’ swims and bird life in the area.
• We allow moderate gardening above the water’s surface but no ripping reeds out. You may trim vegetation but you cannot wade in the water to clear a peg. No digging banks out.
• Your box or chair must be on a platform, although you can put the front legs of your footplate in the water at your own risk.
• No dogs around the lakes and no litter or tab ends to be left on the bank.
• Day anglers to be off site before 9pm in summer and before dark in winter.
