LAKE RULES
- It goes without saying we operate a NO-KILL policy and all fish must be returned to the water in the best conditions without delay.
- Keep nets are prohibited for carp over 12kg.
- Fish over 50lb / 23kg are to be photographed in the water.

- No braid or lead core allowed.
- No debutants. All novice anglers learning to carp fish must be accompanied by another experienced carp angler with several years of carp angling knowledge. You will not be allowed to fish for carp on your own if you do not have enough experience of handling large carp or knowledge of carp care.
- Swingers are obligatory and they must be set in such a way that they can indicate clearly a drop back.
- Safety of the fish is of paramount importance, only rigs that reflect this will be tolerated. Our bailiff has the right to inspect rods daily.
