Although we are reopening the lake, it is up to each individual member to decide whether they are able to fish given their own personal risk factors. The fact that the lake is open for fishing does not imply that it is safe for members to do so.
Fishing will only be permitted from Dawn to Dusk
Any Member showing Covid symptoms Must Not visit the Dell
The lake will be open to Members only, no day tickets.
Members must follow Government social distancing guidelines;
- Remain 2 metres apart at all times unless with members of your own household. We do not intend to impose the Angling Trust Guideline of 15 metres between swims.
- Do not go into a peg with someone fishing for any social interaction, if you have a serious need to visit someone else’s peg please remain 2 meters away from the platform
- No sharing of pegs unless members are from the same household.
- Members must be able to fish without assistance from another member not from the same household. This is particularly relevant to disabled members who should assess their own abilities beforehand.
Members must, as far as reasonably practical, remain on their swim for the duration of their session.
- Members must carry a suitable alcohol based hand sanitiser and this must be used on entering/leaving the lake.
- The toilet facilities will not be available during this period.
Members must use their own equipment/tackle and bait only.
- Members are required to bring landing nets and handles to the Dell, the Society’s nets and chairs have been removed.
