Dear members

Please see below the strict changes, rules & regulations required for when the DDAS owned, controlled or rented lakes open for pleasure fishing from Wednesday 13^th May.

Be aware:  Bailiffs will be in attendance at regular intervals, if anyone is caught breaking these rules or not following the government guidelines associated with them, they will be asked to leave with a warning of a ban the next time they break a rule. We are all in this together, lets make it work, or we’ll be back in lockdown before we know it. 

The requirements at each fishery, until further notice are:

Only 2 sessions per person per week, not on consecutive days and no more than 1 week in advance.  Additional information signs are in place at the entrance gate, please read them carefully.  Parking is restricted due to the electricity supply connection that was not completed before the lockdown. Be careful when reversing out.

Heath Lake: No bookings required, gates will be left tied open, no signing in/out required. Use a pen/pencil to enter the code at the main Silverlake entrance. Additional information signs are in place at the car park, please read them. As the Estate Manager, I will be on site most days so can easily control numbers.
