Over this last 3 months we have increased the size of our high quality hard fighting Rainbow Trout and also introduced a larger proportion of Brown Trout If you catch any fish over 5lb and wish to kill it, we will have to charge the extra weight @ £2.50 per lb. All Club bookings and competitions will be excluded -

Not sure if i agree with the new policy
Seems to be the norm nowadays with the likes of Bangour and Cloybank insisting on all large fish being returned, As i see you pay your money and take ur chance big or small it`s all down to luck what takes ur flea- imagine this paying ur £18 two fish limit and catching two cracking double figure rainbows and it costing you £70 ???? how often does this happen more likely two freshly thrown in 2lb stockies.Besides this whats the long term effect on the fish if they are constantly returned

Chris.

nor do i chris,they wont get my 18 quid,you pays your money and you take whatever comes your way on the day.

It does not really effect me as I take the C&R ticket.but I think it's not a good move.

The same old argument why put decent trout in if they cant come out ok im like jim 9 times out of 10 im on c/r which is ok if done right too many rules at most fisheries

8 Fish,but a couple of years ago they reduced it to 4 for a season because of fish losses due to very bad fish handling.

i hate fisheries that hav c&r limits, it can stop a good day. do they not want you to catch alot of fish?? i dont understand why they do it atall??.

all it does in my eyes is put alot of people off fishin at the fishery.....
