Rules at Beaurepaire

• Please DO NOT go straight to the lake.  The supplied directions take you to the owners house - you MUST report there before you go to the lake.

• Please do not arrive before 11am under any circumstances.  Please depart by 10am. If you depart early please make sure you inform the owner BEFORE you leave.  Thank you.

• VERY IMPORTANT; Beaurepaire operates a peg draw policy.  Anglers who have NOT booked the lake on an exclusive basis are not permitted to set up in any swim before the peg draw takes place
  
  
• The peg draw rule will be enforced - if you set up before all anglers have arrived you may be compelled to move.  We very much appreciate your co-operation to ensure that all anglers have a fair chance on the lake.
