COVID-19 Carp Fishing Resumption

                                   

                                    Book Tickets HERE

In order to enable as many members as possible can access our premier carp waters we are introducing a series of measures to ensure nobody arrives at a water and is unable to fish
All are designed to comply with the current rules, maintain the safety of our members and ensure all our members get equal opportunity to fish.

Spinnaker Lake

 

  • Ten  night tickets are available to buy/book online via the usual procedure. These MUST be booked online. Night tickets from Ringwood Tackle are currently suspended
  • No day anglers will be allowed to fish. We anticipate all swims will be booked daily by night fisherman. This will be monitored daily and day angling re-introduced as soon as practicable. Any angler wishing to fish the daytime only must book a night ticket for the relevant day
  • Anglers must not arrive before noon on the first day of their session
  • Anglers must leave before noon on the final day of their session. This fixed time will ensure anglers arriving will have a choice of pegs on each day and will be strictly monitored by bailiffs
  • The period in which night tickets can be booked in advance is being reduced from 14 to 2
  • The number of consecutive nights members can fish is being reduced. Members can either choose to fish a single night followed by being off for 2 (1 on 2 off) or fish for 2 nights followed by being off for 5 (2 on 5 off). This will prevent block booking, swim hogging and ensure all members can access night tickets rather than a few members enjoying a disproportionate amount. Any angler attempting to book more than this amount will have all bookings cancelled and will, therefore, not be able to fish any nights in their planned session
  • All anglers MUST be in possession of a booked ticket.
  • Any member booking a night ticket but not fishing MUST cancel their booking
  • Our online booking system shows all club officials who should and should not be on a water along with how often they are fishing. Please do not try to break these rules! We will monitor usage and, if capacity is consistently not reached, will increase the nights available to individual members ASAP
Please remember – the initial lifting of the angling ban does not mean the danger is over. It simply means the current infection rate and death toll are managable by the NHS and coronial system!

Hucklesbrook Lake

 

  • Twelve night tickets are available to buy/book online via the usual procedure. These MUST be booked online. Night tickets from Ringwood Tackle are currently suspended
  • Thirteen daytime angling tickets are available to book online via the same system as night tickets are issued. These are free of charge for all members to book
  • Night anglers must not arrive before noon on the first day of their session
  • Night anglers must leave before noon on the final day of their session. This fixed time will ensure anglers arriving will have a choice of pegs on each day and will be strictly monitored by bailiffs
  • Day anglers can arrive and leave at any point during authorised fishing times (1 hour before sunrise, 1 hour after sunset)
  • The period in which night tickets can be booked in advance is being reduced from 14 to 2
  • The number of consecutive nights or days members can fish is being reduced. Members can either choose to fish a single night followed by being off for 2 (1 on 2 off) or fish for 2 nights followed by being off for 5 (2 on 5 off). This will prevent block booking, swim hogging and ensure all members can access night tickets rather than a few members enjoying a disproportionate amount.
