Team names are useful so that donations online can be attributed to the right Teams.  This will be checked. 

RULES:

All participating anglers must be in possession of a valid Environment Agency Rod Licence.

Entry Fees are for prizes – 1st 50%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 20%, and there may be a biggest fish prize.

The competition will be staged as pegged event and only two rods per pair to be fished at a time. One angler should be fishing at all times.

Weigh in every 3 hours. Large carp-friendly approved keep-nets, weighing mats and cradles are to be used, but teams can request fish to be weighed and recorded upon capture and then released.  Fish care is extremely important.

Rods are not to be left unattended under any circumstances. If you leave your peg with rods out it is guaranteed that you will lose rods or miles of line all over the lake. The owner will not be impressed!

This is a challenge, so both anglers should not be sleeping, otherwise it’s just camping!

No floater fishing or floating baits. A stipulation of the owner due to bird life.  

No bait boats.

No fires or BBQ’s, stoves are permitted and bring bin bags to take your rubbish home.

Park in the car park and no driving across the field.

Use the toilets provided and remember, this is a working farm, so please show consideration and keep noise to a minimum and beware of farm vehicles and farm animals.

Tight Lines and enjoy yourselves.  This is a fun event!
