We have one or two guidelines that we would ask you to follow:

THE HUT is there for your use. Please leave it as you should find it, i.e. swept out ready for the next person and all rubbish removed.

FISHING is to be conducted at all times in a sporting and gentlemanly manner.

Preferably, fishing should be FLY ONLY but spinning with artificial lures is permitted from below the viaduct to the bottom of Island Foot pool, with permission and at certain river heights.

Worms, shrimps or prawns are forbidden at all times.

Salmon are caught on a strictly CATCH & RELEASE basis.

Please be sparing with the trout and grayling, a brace to be taken is perfectly acceptable.

CARS: Please leave them in any one of the four designated parking areas. There is a reasonably good track to the bottom of the beat but please be sensible and do not use it in very wet weather. No vehicles are to be driven to the hut itself, i.e. from The Willows up, as it is an area of importance for wild flowers and nature.

You may bring your DOG, assuming it is well behaved and under control. Please try and keep the dog on the path as to not disturb both the nature and wild flowers.

NO FIRES OR BARBECUES.

Please fill in the DIARY in the HUT, even if NTR (nothing to report) but do put things in you see of interest i.e. sightings of otter, osprey, mink, water voles.

We hope you have an enjoyable and successful day. Tight lines!

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Tenants are warned that wading is dangerous. For example river currents are strong; hidden rocks can be treacherous; river banks can be slippery.

Wading sticks are recommended at all times.

Life jackets should be worn.

Eden Lacy fishery takes no responsibility for any accidents or for the loss or damage to any personal belongings whilst the tenant is on the estate. Do not leave items unattended as a public footpath follows along parts of the riverbank.

ENVIRONMENT AGENCY ISSUES

All rods are responsible for ensuring that they and their guests are in possession of a valid Rod Licence. The owners reserve the right to ask all rods for their licence details and may supply such details to the Environment Agency

GYRODACTYLUS SALARIS

The UK is the last country in Europe not to have this terrible parasite which would wipe out all salmon and trout stocks if it arrived.

All tenants who have fished overseas must disinfect their tackle before fishing.
