Rules
We do not like rules, but in order to respect the fish, the surroundings and other anglers we have found it necessary to just clarify a few points so that there is no misunderstanding, all points below must be adhered to.
- 3 rod limit
- Rods must not be left unattended, even for a short time
- No sacks
- No bent hooks, nailers or hooks bigger than size 6 (barbed only please)
- Safe rigs only, leads must eject if a line breakage occurs
- No helicopter or chod rigs
- No shockleaders
- No braided mainline
- 15lb minimum mainline (we suggest big pit reels and all spools must be properly filled with min 300yrds as big cats can run hard and strip a lot of line)

- Particles must be properly prepared (can be purchased on site)
- No bait boats during high season unless booked exclusively and boats must be kept within the angler's own swim
