With Extreme high temperatures and lower Oxygen levels Pike and Salmon fishing is suspended.
Anglers must all possess a landing net. Any person on our fisheries without a landing net will be asked to leave for breaching our fisheries rules.
When specimen fishing, landing nets must be large enough to rest and recover caught fish. Keep Net use is suspended.
Anglers must possess an unhooking mat when specimen fishing. These must be well wetted and cooled before use with fish.
All fish must be given plenty of time to recover before release. Wherever possible unhook in the water. Do not take fish up the banks. Photo shots must be taken very quickly and fish released.
We shall be monitoring the temperatures and Oxygen levels and if they get significantly worse or the above abused, we will have to take further action at short notice.
The above is applicable to all our fisheries.
If you see fish in distress, please report it via our contact page on our website or telephone and leave a message on our bailiff number 07976 020559.
We will update as and when these short measures will be changed.
Please keep your eyes on our Facebook pages and website for updates before you go fishing.
Also a reminder that anglers must be off our fisheries by DARK. If you need a head torch you should be on the fisheries.
Thank you for your understanding. We desperately need some rain.
