Fishing
Conduct
Angling
as a sport and recreation is a fragile and personal experience, which can so
easily be
disrupted by
external interference. However water space is in great
demand
both from anglers
and other activities
and therefore its enjoyment has to be
shared.
The following points should
be observed by every
angler.
-
Ensure you have permission to fish and that you have purchased a permit if
required to do so
-
Observe the bounds of any beat to which you have been assigned and abide
by the
conditions of the local permits.
-
Show consideration for other anglers and water users, leave plenty of room
and
enjoy your time without being
obtrusive to others.
-
Never crowd or obstruct an angler near to you on the bank or in a boat.
-
Never leave rods unattended.
-
Make sure you can distinguish between takeable and non takeable fish.
-
Follow the Country code particularly in relation to control of dogs, the
risk of
fires and fastening gates.
-
Never introduce fish from one water to another.
-
Never leave litter or tackle behind, particularly line and hooks.
Do
not park vehicles so that they obstruct gateways or cause a hazard.
Please
respect the Scottish countryside and
its wildlife - they are unique.
The only evidence of your stay at
the waters edge should be your footprints.
