Recently a big common has been freed from a tangle of line attached to a tree. On one huge length of line was a fixed lead that would not have come off. In total six leads were found as well as over 100m of line !!!  This was on Willow Walk Lake. Please do not be upset if you are asked to bring in your lines so that Ian can check your rigs. The welfare of the fish is paramount and it is clearly stated in the rules that fixed leads are not allowed.  Please do not jeopardise your membership by contravening the fishery rules.

Also please note that only either barbless or microbarb hooks are permitted.
