The Following Restrictions and Biosecurity Measures Apply
- Dip Tanks to Be Used at All Times (Mats/All Nets/Weigh Slings/Waders MUST be dry and dipped before fishing)
- No Movement of Fish from the Lake
- Strictly Members Only (No Guest Tickets)
- Maximum 48hrs Fishing (Until Further Notice)

GEDGES - GENERAL BIOSECURITY
So the guidelines & rules continue to be as per previous updates and for the foreseeable future re: Dip Tanks, Dry Nets, or moving any fish between lakes, including one additional rule re: Dip Tanks in that you MUST re-dip all equipment listed below when moving between lakes, this is to ensure that the club continue to maintain good biosecurity measures at all our lakes, particularly concerning equipment disinfection.
These measures help not just to prevent the spread of any disease but in the same way will also provide a measure of protection to our fish.
Keepnets are now allowed (subject to member adhering to the new rules) at the fishery for Pleasure and Match fishing, but you must follow the rules outlined on the RULES Page, under the BYE-LAWS section (Point 5).
So please ensure that you follow the rules and guidance put in place by the Committee not just on Lake 4 but across all lakes & until further notice from the Committee.
Protect fisheries by disinfecting your angling equipment (USING BIOSECURITY MEASURES)
Fishery managers can only do so much to reduce the risk of disease transmission, so anglers must do all they can to safeguard the future of their sport.
Net dips are in situ as previously communicated. These are in the disabled car park and on the bottom of the slope from the top car park leading to lake 3.
These are to be used with no exception and members will also be held responsible to ensure any guests brought to the lakes follow this rule.
It is not practical to disinfect every bit of angling equipment.
Best practice is to thoroughly disinfect high risk equipment that comes into direct contact with fish or water.
This includes:
- Landing nets.
- Keepnets.
- Unhooking mats.
- Weigh slings.
- Waders.
ALL PWAACS WATERS (Including ALL Leased Waters)
Net Dips are available at Gedges Lakes in the Disabled car park and at the bottom of the slope from the top car park leading to Lake 3.
** THE NET DIPS MUST BE USED. **
Dear Members
The committee has been informed by one of our leased fisheries that some members are being difficult when asked to comply with equipment disinfection and using dip nets where available.
Members MUST ensure that if net dips are available at ANY of our leased fisheries (Hunton, Owls Castle, Claygate, Sams Lakes, Greenacres, Weirwood)
or ANY other fisheries that PWAACS Members visit, THEY MUST BE USED.
This rule has been put in place for a reason which is to help prevent the possible spread of disease and as a safeguard for not just our club but all fisheries.
To be very clear, any member not adhering to these rules will be asked to leave the associated fishery and potentially banned from that fishery, they will also have their PWACCS membership revoked without question.
** THE NET DIPS MUST BE USED AT ALL LAKES (PWAACS AND LEASED WATERS) WHERE AVAILABLE **
Many Thanks
The Committee

Anyone found using leadcore of any description on their tackle will instantly have their membership cancelled.
To this effect all bailiffs have been instructed to stepup the spotchecks of tackle being used by members for both Leadcore and Barbed hooks.
Failure to comply with this reasonable request from a bailiff will also put your membership in jeopardy.
