The rules are in place for three reasons to protect the fish and there welfare, to maintain the surrounding environment and for you guys to have the best fishing experience possible. I think these rules cover all of these and do not in anyway spoil your enjoyment of the lake and the fishing to be had

Please read through these rules as we do not tolerate anyone breaking them

1. Mainline is to be a minimum of 15lb mono straight through NO BRAID
2. No leaders, leadcore or safety leaders of any kind are to be used
3. Barbless hooks only
4. All leads must be able to break free should a fish become snagged or a mainline break
5. Fish are not to be sacked in any circumstances
6. The unhooking mats and slings supplied must be used; you may use your own mats but only over the top of the ones Forest lake supply
7. No nut baits of any kind are to be used
8. As from 2019  maggots can no longer be used on the main lake but small quantities can be used on the top lake for float fishing
9. No fires at anytime as this is Forest fire hazard area
