Do’s and Don’ts

We ask that our fishermen follow only a few rules in order to ensure that our lake stays safe and enjoyable for all, and is not left dangerous for our wildlife. Please follow them and have a great day.

Please DO:

• Be in possession of a valid fishing licence
• Use barbless hooks
• Always use a landing net
• Use an unhooking mat (for larger fish)
• Take away your rubbish including broken line. We provide a green bin in the car park for this purpose
• Keep a very close eye on any children with you, especially those under 14
• Tell us if you see any fish snagged on broken line or stray gear and we will free them

Please DO NOT:

• Fish from the bridge
• Use a keep net
• Fish out of the permitted areas (south of the bridge and on the village side of the lake – please ask if you are unsure of the correct areas)
• Light a barbeque or open fire anywhere in the grounds of the castle
• Leave pets in the car on hot days. ALL pets must be kept under strict control at all times
• Leave any tangled gear in the trees or in the water (please let us know if you need help clearing this)
