It is our policy to be fair and honest with the visitors to our fishery and for this reason we have no silly rules. Very few visitors are banned from the site or told to leave but the bailiff or staff will send anglers away if they blatantly disregard the rules that we do have.​
There is NO LONGER A DEPOSIT FOR THE LANDING EQUIPMENT , however Fishery equipment MUST still be used.
