Rules

We operate a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. You will be asked to leave immediately and banned if you break ANY of the following rules.

You will not get a second chance. Please do not arrive too early. You can turn up 15 mins before your session starts, to unpack your gear.

We do not allow people not booked on to walk around the lake. This is for security and also to ensure all anglers are undisturbed when fishing. Anglers may book a non fishing partner for a cost of £2.50 per 24 hours.

Please note you do NOT need unhooking mats as we have placed some Nash xls cradles in every swim. Please Use them.
Strictly NO wading under ANY circumstances. The lake bed is very unstable and this is for your own safety.
