Lake Rules
As with all good fisheries we have some rules. These have been created to ensure that the fishery and surrounding countryside remains a safe and pleasant environment for everybody to enjoy, and also to protect the health and condition of the fish. Please take the time to read the rules and make sure you understand them before you start fishing. We are happy to answer any questions you may have if anything is unclear.

Please note that we will be happy to greet our guests on arrival between 14:00 and 15:00 but not before, and expect them to depart by 10:00. A refundable deposit of €150 is required on arrival. This will be returned upon departure, providing there has been no damage and the venue has been left in good order.

Rules for Fishing
The lead Angler is responsible for his family and guests, and any damage they may cause. Any Angler or member of his party found not respecting the rules will be asked to leave without compensation. No refund will be given for early departure.

Anglers found using home prepared particles will be asked to leave immediately without compensation. Commercially prepared particles are OK eg. those prepared by Quest Baits, Dynamite Baits etc. Sweet corn is OK.
