No dampening feed pellets... erm what happens when they are fed then? That has to be the most stupid rule ever!!!

[big_cup]

Must admit, thats some list of rules, not many things left that you can do? What would dampening pellets ever harm??

[joffmiester]

FU#K THAT !! sorry but thats way too many rules

[craftytafty]

i agree Joff, they are a joke. sposed to be our hobby not treated like criminals. surprised anyone goes there.

[Guest]

Dunno why they just don't put another rule down NO FISHING what a joke

[sadhighway]

what will we do if it rains ? the pellets will get wet

[Dave C]

The smallest size of luncheon meat to be used is a quarter of an inch or one centimetre.

I think I would measure my meat in centimetres as 1 centimetre is half as big again as 1/4 inch.

[Drynet]

I asked this and was told to cover them up you are allowed to dampen a small amount

[MrWright]

Absolutely ridiculous!! It's a complete contradiction , you can dampen a small amount for use in a feeder so why not for the pole? I just don't see what possible harm or difference it could make really? I respect the fact that they want to look after their fish but instead of implementing silly rules maybe they should be having a word with the anglers that are trying to bend the rules in the first place! I've been a few times to this venue and have witnessed some awful things in terms of how anglers target the fish... Ie dumping in big pots of bait and then sitting there with heavy gear on pulling right through the water column at any indication to foul hook fish I was actually gobsmacked!

[joffmiester]

i bet everybody breaks the rules without knowing
just my luck I'd be caught sneezing over my pellets

[joffmiester]

they go to all this trouble to protect the fish yet allow B/J that comes from the shi#est places of Europe

[gale]

New rule to be added:-

No hooks incase the fish pierce their mouths.

[joffmiester]

new rule no one allowed on the fishery without a 4X4

[MrWright]

No casting, all baits must be placed into the water gently...

[Mancunian]

I totally agree with bait limits but the other list of rules are well over the top. If more anglers voted with their feet and boycotted these type of fisheries they would soon relax the rules.
