Rules
We have very few rules and the ones we have are purely for the protection of the fish, the wildlife and consideration of other anglers.
All persons fishing must be in posssession of a current Environment Agency rod licence.
You need an Environment Agency rod licence for up to two rods, or two separate licences if you have three or four rods. This is the law of the land. Agency inspectors frequent Greenwoods Fishery and non-license holders have been prosecuted. Buy Rod License Online Now!
