Bait Rules

Bolie

  1.  No shelf life Bolie (freezer baits only).

Particles

  1. We do not allow anglers to bring their own particles onto the fishery.

Tigers

  1. We do not allow anglers to bring Tigers onto the fishery.

Pellet

  1. We do not allow anglers to bring their own pellet. (House pellet only)

Sweetcorn

  1. We do not allow anglers to bring any form of sweet corn.

*All natural baits including maggots are not permitted throughout the season on the fishery.

Plastic

  • The use of ANY PLASTIC HOOKBAIT is totally forbidden which includes using anything for tipping your baits! This rule has been implemented for the good of the fishery and long term welfare of the fish as any snapped off rig continues to fish long after a normal boilie would have broken down leading to the risk of fish trailing tackle.
  • You will be asked to declare any banned baits on your arrival. Failing to declare them at them at this point and later found within your possession/using you will be told to leave, therefore forfeiting your holiday and loss of all payments.
  • All swims to be left clean and tidy. If you leave rubbish – you will not be invited back!
  • In the event of any dispute – the onsite bailiff’s word will be final.
  • Any abusive language or threatening behaviour will lead to you being removed from the fishery instantly.

Important

Anyone caught breaking the rules will be asked to leave immediately and the WHOLE group will then be banned from returning to the lake. WITH NO REFUND.

We wish you, and all anglers present, to enjoy a relaxing holiday in friendly and pleasant surroundings and hopefully to catch the fish of a lifetime – perhaps more. These rules are designed to encourage a first class trip for all.

Kind Regards
