Three rules

 This post is as a result of a recent post from Benny which got me thinking. He is quiteright when he says it is a mine field on some fisheries with their rules.

So you own a fishery and have an opportunity to state only 3 rules. What would they be.

High on my list would be NO CATMEAT closely followed by No fires and no litter.

So what would your 3 rules be.

Re: Three rules

My three rules would be

1. Take home all the litter around your swim, even if it is not yours.

2. No keepnets.

3. Hook bait only, no groundbait or loose feed, including feeders.

Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

Re: Three rules

 interesting one this , lets say the fires , dogs and under 16s are a given 

Mine would be 

1. you must show your EA license when you buy a ticket 

2. you should have appropriate fishing gear and use it e.g. unhooking mat 

3. no shouting across to your mate 

 

difficult really , with only 3 as their should be something in about fish safe baits , but opinion seems divided on that too e.g. no tiger nuts to prevent uncooked baits. A bloke I know uses ground salted peanuts - swears by them but they are banned on the pool he uses. I haven't been tempted to use them for fear of harming the fish. 

 

 

Of course the conclusion is that if there is no God head , no guiding hand , no mystical force , then we are all automata clinging to a rock , whizzing through space ,hurtling and clinging on to some God forsaken ride, chemical accidents , accidentally chemically aware , peeking at conciousness , trapped like rats in a rat trap.

Re: Three rules

This is easy for me.

1. No blipping alarms ( to conserve the tranquility of the waterside)

2. No camouflage (to prevent short sighted gits like me falling over some invisible pillock reclining(sleeping) on the tow path, do they wear camouflaged drawers too?)

3. No carp (to encourage an improvement in angling ability and broaden some peoples horizons)

 When I went past the specimen lake at whiteacres all you could smell was weed.
