There are, of course, a few key rules to abide by when lake fishing in Cambridgeshire with Willowcroft Fisheries. We particularly ask that you observe the following:
All leadcore is banned.
Floating baits are not allowed on site.
Match fishing
We also offer match fishing options. Here’s a few essentials you’ll need to keep in mind when opting for match fishing with us:
Manufactured, barbless hooks only.
Hooks cannot be larger than a Kamasan B911 size 10.
Luncheon meat and sweetcorn are allowed as hook bait only.
The following baits are banned from Willowcroft Fisheries: cat food, macaroni, trout pellets, floating loose feed, and (as mentioned) as floating baits.
Elastic must be through carp power top two and allow a reasonable amount of stretch.
The Mulleto system is banned, as is swinging of any fish.
Fish welfare is paramount.
Do not handle fish. Fish must be unhooked via side of net, then placing into a keepnet from the landing net directly.
Total carp must not be longer than the top of the keepnet.
Any fish over 10lb must be placed in a separate net from smaller fish.
A maximum of five fish per net, or a weight up to 50lb.
No more than 50lb can be kept in a single keepnet.
Silver fish max weight in a keepnet is 30lb. Extra keepnets can be requested. If the total weight of a keepnet breaks this rule and exceeds 40lb, the entire keepnet will be disallowed.
Additional rules may apply, so please do ask for a full breakdown when making a booking at our site. We welcome all anglers and look forward to working with you to ensure you have a pleasant visit and that fish welfare is maintained.
