Lake Rules
In order for us to continue to provide an exceptional fishing experience at Lake Calver and to keep our fish in top condition we have sensible rules which all residents and guests must adhere to. This not only ensures great fishing but also means that the lake remains a peaceful, stunning place to relax and unwind. We thank you for your co-operation.
Protecting the fish
• Maximum three rods per angler
• Rods must not be left unattended when lines are in the water
• No sacking or retaining of fish allowed
• All fish caught MUST be returned to the lake they were caught from. Under no circumstances must fish be killed or moved to other lakes.
• Anglers must use carp cots, weigh slings and landing nets to ensure large carp can be handled safely
• A suitable antiseptic treatment (such as Klin-Ik) must be used at all times
• Minimum 15lb mono mainline, no bent hook rigs or braided mainline, micro-barb or barbless hooks only, maximum size 4’s
• Particles - anglers can bring their own if it's branded prepared. Maize can be purchased at the lake, anglers just need to let Phillipe know on arrival.
• No lead core or leaders
• No fixed leads or safety clips that can eject leads.
