Rules at Bletiere

Lake Rules

• Fish safety and care are the two most important concerns.  All fish caught must be returned alive.  We have tried to keep the rules to a minimum and trust your common sense
  
  
• No sacks or keepnets.  We do not supply landing nets.  All anglers must have nets that are large enough to handle very large carp and all swims in use must have them in place. All nets must be at least 42 inches and please ensure they are thoroughly dry before using them

• We supply a carp cot and weigh sling in every swim and these must be used by all anglers

• To care for our fish would all anglers please bring their own antiseptic and treat any cuts and hook holes

• Do not stand up to take photos of fish!  Keep close to mats and weigh all fish in slings and always hold fish above mats 

• No more than 3 rods per angler and no rods to be left unattended. This includes anglers with remote alarms.  Rods must not be left out and anglers walk to gite or other swims 
  
  
• Rig tubing must be used and at least 24 inches long, this helps stop cuts on fish
  
  
• Barbless or micro barbed hooks only and all rigs must be safe rigs and not fixed.  Line on carp rods must be at least 12lb and on float rods 5lb
  
  
• No nut baits of any sort to be used e.g. tiger or peanuts
  
  
• Only commercially prepared particles to be used. Because not all anglers know how to prepare particles safely we can supply them to save you space if you prefer 
  
  
• We stock a range of Quest Baits boilies, but please order in advance so we can ensure we have what you want  
  
  
• No litter to be left in swims or on the banks.  Please use the bins supplied.  Pease do not leave cigarette ends on the bank or fields... put them in bins.  No fires... but BBQ’s on legs are OK
  
  
• No swimming or wading in the lake and no fishing from island.  No cars to be driven down to lake as the ground is very soft in places
  
  
• Radios allowed on the lake as long as they are kept quite
  
  
• Please do not use the banks as a toilet; there is an additional toilet in the barn.
  
  
• No children under 16 years old to fish alone.  Please watch your children as water is dangerous. We cannot take responsibility for your child’s safety and we do not supply lifejackets
