THE CLUB WATERSThe waters described in this handbook are fished as a privilege, a privilegethan can very quickly be removed through thoughtless actions. These watershave been acquired over a period of time through a lot of hard work, andmust be respected. At the present time good fishing waters are at a premium,with many clubs or individuals waiting their chance to step in and take overa water that has been abused and subsequently lost by a negligent club. Sobearing this in mind, please respect the owner’s goodwill by observing thecountry code, shut all gates, protect crops and wildlife, use the paths provided,read the local rules for each water in conjunction with the club’s rules andabove all do not leave any litter. Observance of these few and easy to carryout rules will ensure the continuation of our fishing.Fishery management is an important part in maintaining good fishing on theClub’s waters and to this end the recording of specimens and outstandingcatches is vital, so please return your forms to any committee member.The continued upkeep of the Club’s waters is vital if fishing is to continue ina safe and enjoyable environment and this to a large extent is dependentupon the club members voluntary efforts at the working parties. So pleasesupport your club, keep your future fishing safe and attend the workingparties. Dates will be issued.The Club has an active match fishing contingent and anyone wishing to takepart is more than welcome and should contact the match secretary, whosename and telephone number is on the enclosed committee page.
