Brie Rules

* Please arrive between 12 noon and 1pm and depart before 10am. 

* IMPORTANT: All anglers are asked to drive to the owner's other lake, Jonchery, first, where you will meet bailiff Mark, who will explain the basics and then guide you to Brie, which is a short distance away. The sat nav co-ordinates for Jonchery are on your driving details section of the info pack

* On arrival you will be asked to pay a refundable deposit of 50€ per angler and asked to sign a contract agreeing to abide by these rules. The bailiff will be happy to answer any questions. Anglers found to be breaking the rules will forfeit their deposit & further non-compliance will result in being escorted from the lake. Additionally, the 50€ deposit will be forfeit if the recycling policy is not followed.

* On arrival every angler has to show their unhooking mat, landing net and weigh sling so that they can be disinfected. This is to avoid introducing carp viruses. Please have these items ready on arrival
