Random checks
Randon checks of bags and tackle can be carried out by the bailiffs and park staff as per management rules to ensure fishery rules are being complied with.
Anglers are expected to cooperate with this process.
Persons breaking fishery rules
Any person not complying with fishery rules will be asked to leave and anyone engaged in any form of fishing without a day ticket will be considered to be poaching which is considered a crime of theft and the circumstances will be reported to the Police.
We will request prosecution on every occasion.
Purchase of a day ticket is deemed as acceptance by the angler of the fishery rules as stated above.
