LOWER BOLFRACKS Letting conditions
1. To help prevent an outbreak of Gyrodactylus Salaris which has had catastrophic effects on some foreign rivers, all rods fishing must complete a Gyrodactylus declaration on arrival at the fishery. This states that either you have not used your fishing tackle abroad in the last three months, or you have done so and had it properly sterilised, or you have done so and NOT had it sterilised. In the latter case, you must agree to sterilisation taking place before you start fishing, and accept that there may be some delay in getting this organised.
2. The season is from 15th January to 15th October inclusively.
3. There is no fishing allowed on Sundays.
4. It is illegal to intentionally foul-hook fish.
