There is a strict 8 day calendar month limit on the lake, this includes overnight stays even if they are not 24hrs.

10. Cars must be returned to the car park after dropping off your tackle. All gates must be locked at all times.There is a strict 5MPH speed limit around the lake. I cannot emphasise enough how important this rule is and how strict it will be enforced. Anyone exceeding the speed limit will be banned. Cars are parked at owners own risk. Members over the age of 65 may leave there cars in some swims. Please ask for details
11. Particles- No particles are allowed, Except the following: maize(Soaked for 24hrs before cooking for a minimum of 1hour) Sweetcorn, Hemp all trout, blood and carp pellets and Vitalin. NO Artificial Baits No Foam No Plastic.
12. The lake can be weedy – it is with this in mind that we will insist on a drop off lead system. .The only acceptable lead systems are lead clips that have been cut back and secure swivels (so that they cannot come out of the casing)or inline leads systems where the line runs around the outside of the lead. strictly no chod rigs or any other systems, I am not interested with pva rigs and rotten bottom rigs etc.If anyone is not sure please contact Vince(07748767882).If you fish with a rig that does not fit the criteria above you will be asked to return your ticket no refunds. If you do get weeded with a fish, please do not apply excessive pressure. Put your rods down and give the fish time it may swim clear.
13. Tubing must be used at all times(only Tubing),this not only helps anglers with its anti tangle qualities but also protects the scales of the fish. The use of shock leaders is strictly prohibited. Please do not keep calling asking if certain leaders are allowed.
14. A maximum of three rods to be permitted.
15. Please use cradle type unhooking mats, only large weigh slings,. Please make sure plenty of water is available when photographing fish especially during the warmer months. Try to have everything at hand so the fish is out of the water for the minimum amount of time. All landing nets, weigh slings and unhooking mats must be dipped in the antiseptic tanks by the shed before use.
16. Bait Boats are allowed. Please See separate section on bait boat rules.
