These rules are required to ensure the safety and welfare of our fish and every angler, and to ensure that the fish and lake are kept in superb condition for our guests.

Please read carefully as any infringement of these rules will result in you being asked to leave the venue immediately, with no reimbursement.

• All photographs of Carp must be taken in the lake up to waist height. You have the choice of whether to photograph the smaller fish. The Carp are only allowed onto the bank for difficult hook removal and treatment.
• Once the fish have been landed, the hook must be removed while the fish is still in the net, then transfer it straight from the net to the floating weigh sling provided while still in the water. 
• If unable to remove the hook, disconnect the hook link from the main line or cut main line (whichever is quickest and causes less distress to the fish).
• Whenever possible, to prevent injury please land the fish from the platforms and not from the banks.
• All fish caught must stay in the weigh sling until waders are on, mats are wet, the scales are zeroed and cameras are ready.
• No overnight sacking/slinging is permitted.
• All Carp must be returned to the lake as soon as possible.
