Members are advised that fishing on the House bank of Lake 2 is strictly prohibited, as some members were reminded of twice in one day recently, this bank has been left wild as a deliberate action as a haven for the fish as well as a nesting area for the waterfowl and song birds, and yes we have nesting birds on this bank that were disturbed, it also serves as a privacy buffer between us and our neighbours, please respect their privacy.
May we once again remind members, that litter will not be tolerated at any of our fisheries and per your rule book, you risk the loss of your membership if litter is found in your peg, you are requested, per the rule book, to clear your swim of any litter PRIOR to starting fishing, even if that litter is not yours.
