Use of Boats
Boats must be handled with care and consideration for other anglers. Anglers are requested to inform the Warden of any damage.
The use of outboard motors is prohibited.
Litter
Discarded nylon and litter are a hazard to wildfowl on the lochs and must be taken home for disposal, or deposited in litter
bins where available.
Safety
A buoyancy jacket is available on request and it is recommended that you make use of this facility. If the boat capsizes,
stay with it, and hold on to it unless you can reach the bank by swimming or wading. It is recommended that you fish in a
sitting position. Apart from being more likely to topple into the water, a standing angler is likely to "put the fish down".
Fish sitting down and you will catch more fish and fish more safely.
The Warden
The lochs are patrolled regularly by the Warden, who is authorised to ask for and examine permits, tackle and catches. All
disputes arising from the above regulations are to be raised with the Environmental Services Department, not the Warden.
