In Brief

Please be aware that the rules we have in place on the complex are for the future benefit of the angler, the fish and the fishery.

This complex is managed by carp anglers and the implementation of the above rules is considered crucial for the long term good of firstly the fish and the fishery itself.

In the event of any clarification being required by any angler on the complex in relation to any of the rules detailed above please speak to your bailiff - before casting out !!

If an angler is found to be breaking any of the rules as detailed above, the bailiff will simply instruct the individual to pack up all their tackle immediately and arrange transport for them to the train station for repatriation to the UK, at their expense.

Regardless of time of day or circumstances.

Please do not put us in a position to have to apply this action !
