I don't disagree with any of them. They all seem to put the fish and water quality first. I'm surprised luncheon meat and corn are not on the list.
I think the owner could condense the list as it appears some people get bored after reading the first 14 rules innit Benny..
mg:
Ha ha I am kind of the bad boy of fishing a bit like Brando in "on the waterfront".
Meat is on the list but hookbait only I think , lets have another read.

There is an additional list on site that says meat as hook bait only , I agree the aim is to maintain water quality

It sounds like the owner doesn't really want you fishing there !!
Yeah, hate that no surface thing,................ on a carp fishery ?
I asked its to prevent damage to birdlife.

This list looks like an amalgam of the last 4 fisheries I've been at. The no dog/cat food caused some confusion until it was pointed out that dog/cat biscuits are OK 'cos they're not food!
- oh - as long as they aren't fished floating!
There must be a story behind this - I didn't know Mac Cheese was a bait!
Go on - tell us the fishery - they can't be shy!
Pretty much the same as others I agree , I was at whiteacres once and my lad threw a load of mini boilies in but we didn't realise they floated , the carp went nuts for them and were avidly taking them off the surface but , we thought "no surface fishing" In the end we thought sod it , too much to resist and had a crafty freeline, turned out it was perfectly legal Doh !
I'll pm you the fishery if you want , I don't want to give the impression its not well run the owner works very hard and I have had a lot of very pleasent days there.

Like I said to protect the bird life but I am not convinced , Furnace Mill , where I also fish allows even the floating pole , but use someone else's pellets and they go nuts.

The no boilies and pellet is becoming more and more common.
I was told that this is due to the excessive amount of oxygen used to break them down, so if there is no other form of oxygenation in the water, one can see why.
What's the story behind no method feeders?
The suggestion seems to be its a bolt rig as in "no method feeders or fixed rigs" I am sure mine are "safe".

All lines to have a float attached makes it a tad difficult to fish the feeder doesn't it!
Presumably freelining causes a problem , no idea what that might be , I have "tried" muppet fishing where you stick a freelined bait on the end of the pole and just put your end of the pole in and wait for the laccy to pull out , it works a treat.
Another rule broken

My view is that it is their fishery so if I don't agree with their rules then I simply find somewhere else to fish . . . . . . like my local rivers where there are no such fastidious rules.
That said, a list of rules like that does highlight just how easy our fishing has become, doesn't it?
I agree , if you don't like it don't fish but you do lose track sometimes , or make assumptions.

No problems for me.
Other than the hemp ban.
Why?
Wasn't hemp banned years ago as it was supposed to drug the fish ?
