Rules
LAKESIDE FISHERY RECEIVES MUCH PRAISE FOR THE CONDITION OF ITS FISH AND ITS AMBIENCE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR FISHERMEN HELP US KEEP IT THIS WAY – THANK YOU.

If you haven’t fished with us before or you need a refresher, here are our rules:
Big No-no’s

BARBED HOOKS
AND BRAID.
You will be banned, named and shamed if we catch you – and we do check!
This applies to Match fishing as much as Day Tickets.

LESSER NO-NO’S BUT NEVERTHELESS IMPORTANT
No surface fishing – we care for our ducks, geese and other wildlife; we trust that you will too.
No trollies across the front lawn in front of the house
No trollies anywhere if ground is sodden – if in doubt, don’t. Please. We value our grass.
No driving or reversing down drive beyond the car park to load or unload (unless by prior arrangement – eg if you are disabled)

TACKLE
You must have your own landing mat and a clean landing net.
No keep nets (except during match fishing)

BAIT
No bait restrictions

LITTER
Please take it home with you – this is our garden as much as it is your fishing venue.

AGE RESTRICTIONS
16 and above.
MATCHES
No fish over 4lb to be kept in keep nets
Fish over 4lb to be weighed, recorded and returned
Sufficient scales to be deployed (1 set of scales for every 4 anglers)
Maximum 50lb of fish in any one keep net
We advise a mid-match weigh in during peak weight Summer months

GUESTS
Permitted but you’ll pay as if they were fishing
