Due to recent incidents at the pond the committee, after due consultation, have taken the following decision to change bylaw 1.11 under rule 21 of the constitution to “Members are not allowed on SPS grounds until after an official SPS match is over”
This is to safeguard expensive tackle from being damaged by sightseers. Please note that the gate will be locked from 9am to 4.30pm on match days.
Also please do not throw unwanted bait on the bank at the end of your fishing session. Please throw it far out into the water or take it home. This is to deter vermin on the bank and waterfowl coming into your peg thinking there will be food under your rod.
Remember there is a one rod only fishing rule at Bramley Pond, putting a sleeper rod out is not allowed and ignorance of the rules is no defence.
Read the rules Gentlemen, They’re not there as guidelines.
If barriers are present do not cross them. We had laid some concrete by the overflow and placed barriers in front and behind it only to find someone had moved both barriers and gone through the wet concrete with a barrow or scooter. If you pass barriers the insurance does not cover you.
We are removing the Lilly beds as there are lots of fish being lost in them and for the welfare of the stock we will be replacing them with alternative aquatic plants.
There is also a restocking of Carp, Barbel and Chub coming later in the year.
