General Etiquette

Respect Others’ Space: Avoid standing or moving abruptly in another angler’s area to prevent scaring fish.
Keep Bite Alarms at Appropriate Levels: Set your alarm volume so it doesn’t disturb others.
Respect Swim Boundaries: Fish only within your designated area, typically extending halfway between pegs and forming a V-shape from your peg.
Polite Interaction: Be considerate when approaching others, especially if they are in a bivvy or landing a fish.
Bait Boats: Use bait boats only in your own swim and avoid disrupting others.
Surrounding Areas: You may fish the surrounding area if adjacent pegs are empty. However, if another angler arrives, immediately respect their swim and limit your baiting to your own swim.

 

Respect for the Environment

No Littering: Dispose of all waste in the provided bins or take it with you.
Noise Levels: Keep noise to a minimum. If you’re with family or friends, ensure your group isn’t disturbing others, including keeping music low.

Fishing Conduct
Swim Encroachment: Avoid fishing in areas where another angler is actively catching fish.
Fish Care: Handle fish with care when landing and releasing them. Use appropriate fish-safe products if needed.

Rules on Companions
Only Gold Members may fish on Gold Lake. Guests can accompany you but must stay clear of other pegs and are not allowed to fish.
