Welcome to Angel of the North fishing Lakes

Basic Rules & Welfare

Basic Rules & Welfare Code of Angling Practice at Angel Lakes

We do not want to offend anyone, however No Beginners, Sea or Game anglers converting to coarse fishing are allowed fishing on Angel lakes unless they have been with an Angel Lakes angling coach and deemed competent.

Please Note. All Fish are Catch and Return Alive to the Water

All our rules are Common Sense! The main rule is minimum handling = maximum conservation

A Current EA License is required for all anglers over 12 years old it must be shown before fishingm
All anglers & Guests must report, pay and sign in at reception prior to going to the lake you have chosen to fish, dip your landing nets and unhooking mats, no swapping of lakes once you are fishing.

Rule No 1 Every angler must have balanced coarse tackle and terminal tackle, & use it correctly, An unhooking mat, landing net (kite marked) Klin-ik antiseptic & disgorger at all times, NO Feeder or Ledger rod to be used as a float rod, no spinning rod, beach rod, boat rod etc.
.
Rule No 2 Any Angler who Swings any fish of any size in, or handled the fish back to water (all fish caught must be brought in & returned to the water using a landing net) or caught or reported breaking the rules will be asked to leave the fishery

Rule No 3 All nets, mats, weight slings, must be dipped in the chemical dip tank for 10 minutes,
Then rinsed in the fresh water tank, the tanks are by reception, a mangle is also there to extract water from mats if required.

Rule No 4 Barbless hooks only max size 12 minimum 18, minimum line strength of 8lb on Bowes and 6lb Lookout, and 4lb on Bassetts. Minimum hook length of 15 inches and 5lb strength. All ledger and feeder rigs must be free running. NO fixed Rigs, No Method Feeders, No Zig Rigs, No Braid allowed (main line or hook lengths)
Poles min recommended elastic of 10 + 5lb hook length, No floating pole.
Angling foundation approved landing nets only, no keepnets to be used by pleasure anglers.
When returning fish to the water in a net please allow enough time for fish to recover before releasing it. If a fish is deep hooked then cut the line close to the mouth, do not pull at the line or repeatedly attempt to disgorge – just cut the line.

Rule No 5 No swapping of lakes, due to possible cross contamination and therefore bio-security, Fishing is from constructed pegs only. Anglers must reel in if you leave your peg.
No Stalking of fish

Rule no 6 Do not damage plants on bankside or surrounding area, on site toilets must be used,
All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult unless authorised
All anglers must keep to footpaths provided.
No Alcohol allowed on site and any angler caught with alcohol will be asked to leave.

Please report any case of injured fish or wildlife to a member of staff
We would ask all anglers to take rubbish home or place in the bins at reception.

We request you DO NOT USE electronic bite alarms, or have them turned down, for fellow anglers concentration .
Finally take nothing but memories and leave nothing but Footsteps-enjoy!!!!

I've fished it a couple of times its a long way from home but i used to visit the area a couple of times a year, its a nice place there is no litter what so ever, every fish is in great condition, the fishing is very good and there are no chavs at all, which given its location is a big surprise.
And the main gate is on an intercom to the office to get in and out.

Each to their own naturally, but to me that place sounds like fishing in an amusement park, and with CCTV too?

A fishery I went to had (under the no litter bit) no throwing cigarette butts in the lake:confused:

OK, there were no butts in the lake that I could see, but (have you gussed) the surrounds of the lake is covered in them, along with tins, bags, cans, bottles etc..; I can honestly say that I have never been to a fishery where there were so many fag butts, as much litter yes (I stopped taking my dogs to Boddington for a while as it got so bad), but not fag butts:confused:

Yes each to there own, i can understand why that might put people off but with anglers getting robbed whilst fishing becoming more common CCTV is a nice safe option, more so if you were to let your kids fish there.
