Bringing a guest

Members are welcome to bring a guest occasionally to fish any of the club's fisheries. Guests fish for free, but strict rules apply.

  1. Request a guest permit first. Email the Membership Secretary with your guest's name and address, the date and the location. You'll get a reply granting access for the day. This matters: the guest must be covered by our insurance.
  2. Three guest sessions a season at most, per member.
  3. Stay on the fishery. Your guest can fish anywhere on the fishery, but you must be there for the whole session.
  4. Your guest, your responsibility. Guests must follow the club rules. Problems caused by a guest could cost the member their membership.
  5. No professional guiding. Our insurance doesn't cover guided sessions, so guest permits can't be used for them.
