Due to the ongoing heatwaves and low water levels
Members are requested to voluntarily minimise the amount of bait being used on our waters.
There is already a bait restriction on Newpool of 1 kilo maximum bait per angler per 24 hours.
Water quality is being monitored across all our waters. The use of spombs/spods/mass baiting tools is also being reviewed pending any possible restrictions.
Finally a reminder that barbecues are banned across all our waters.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
