Anglers must always come in and sign in individually before going out to fish.
Environment Agency licences are required and are available here
The first trout caught must be taken after which up to six trout may be returned to each of the two lakes. (The Day Ticket is £13.00 plus £1.95 per pound to a maximum of £6.95 for each trout taken). Additional trout may be taken & paid for at the same rate.
Return all brown trout. Count them in your returns total of six trout on each lake
Rainbows estimated to be above 10lb (4.5kg) must always be taken. If caught after your first trout we will take them if you do not wish to keep them yourself at £6.95
Barbless or debarbed hooks should be used at all times & a single fly, no droppers.
Deeply hooked, stressed or bleeding trout must be taken & paid for
Any buoyant fly must be fished on a floating line and sinking flies must not be left static.
No strike indicators
Rods should be at least 9' long, minimum line rating DT5/ WF6, minimum cast strength 4lb & cast should be at least 9' long.
Only one rod per angler please. A second rod may be left set up
Our landing nets must be used. Fish must be brought into the edge of the water in the net, unhooked & released. Do not lift the trout or net out of the water. Trout must not be handled, weighed or photographed.
Please do not use a bass bag
Use a priest and unhook your catch after dispatching it
Do not fish for trout at the water inlets or short line cast for trout
Anglers are welcome to fish both lakes, but should note that they may only fish "a bank" (ask to see the layout) for a maximum of two hours, even though they may have moved pegs along that bank. After two hours they must leave that bank for two full hours before returning to it again. Don't just nip round the corner & fish the same water from another angle. Do not leave tackle unattended during lunch or tea breaks to hold your spot.
For the benefit of others - no dogs or pets, disruptive or noisy anglers, radios, car radios, cameras (including mobile phone cameras), camcorders, stoves, fires, brollies or bivvies etc anywhere at all on site. (If you catch a good trout we'll be pleased to photograph it & send you a copy). Set mobiles to a single low tone & only use strictly in emergencies, not for unnecessary conversations.
(It should also be noted that visitors are strictly not allowed anywhere on the fishery. Anglers calling for information or tackle are asked to respect this rule and also to note that we would ask them not to use binoculars or cameras as we feel this is an impostion on the anglers privacy.)
Please wear nothing less than a "T" SHIRT (not string, vest style, cropped or see through) & full cut shorts. This rule applies to anyone on site including the tackle shop
It is recommended that all anglers wear glasses for eye protection. Under 16's must not come to fish here without them
Anglers must put their rods down when lightening is overhead because of the danger of electrocution - rods are excellent lightning conductors!
Please use the toilet provided - not the hedges
Access is to the lakeside only - don't wander, climb trees etc.
Do not discard waste cast. We have a bucket by the office door - please put cast there for burning.
Please do not drop any litter including cigarette stubs & especially not cast

but FFSAll stocked fish as well, it's not as if it's some breeding ground for coelancanths (Them fish that wear bearskins and paint on walls)
I'd rather go back to Mrs. Tobins maths class. -Yes my first school was next to a gravel pit with chalk stream influences. Oh how we used to groove un plucking duckweed from each others crevices.
