3 rods per angler. Set your bite alarms so they do not cause noise disturbance to other anglers.

Boats and bait boats are allowed. Respect your neighbors.

Fishing is only permitted with safety rigs or free running: in case of line breakage, the lead must easily detach so that the fish does not swim around with the lead and die.

Normal hooks and micro barbs are allowed. Hook size must be between 2 and 8. Hooklinks will be checked on site.

Nylon mainlines (minimum 0.30 mm). No lead-core. Use tubing to protect the fish.

The hooklink must never be stronger than the mainline.

Particles are allowed if properly prepared.

Material and bait that may not be used: bent hooks, braided mainlines, retention slings, leadcore, peanuts, hazelnuts, tiger nuts, and uncooked grains.

Bivvies must be a neutral green color.

Every angler must have a large landing net, unhooking mat, weigh sling (must be able to zip completely closed), and antiseptic. These materials will also be treated with disinfectant upon arrival.

Every fish caught must be returned with the utmost care, catch and release. Use the chip reader for every fish. Photograph the fish kneeling by the unhooking mat or in the water. Do not use a landing net for sturgeon; grab the fish by the tail and unhook it on the unhooking mat in the water. Never bring sturgeon onto the bank or the swim. They are fragile fish, please take good care of them.

Cars may be parked at the swim.

Dogs are allowed on a leash. 1 pet per swim. Bring the vaccination booklet. It is mandatory to clean up droppings. Please ensure your dog does not bark excessively and cause nuisance. The dog must not come too close to a fish.
