Rules

For the benefit of new members (and old):

Green Lane is a LVRP water, therefore the use of any nut baits is banned.

Baitboats are not permitted on any ACAS water.

Finally, if you leave your swim, your rods must be out of the water. Members found off of their rods will be banned.

Important Reminder

Members are reminded that guests tickets should be filled in before the start of your session. Failure to comply with this rule will result in an automatic 3 month ban for the ACAS member from all ACAS fisheries.

Members are also reminded to carry their club card and photo ID with them on club waters.

Unattended Rods

Recently the Committee took the decision to ban a member for 3 months for leaving rods unattended at Nazeing.

The Committee does not take disciplinary decisions lightly but fish safety has to be a top priority.

If you need to leave your swim for any reason, please make sure you bring your rods in.

Turnford Consortium

We have been asked Turnford Consortium to remind members that the gates to the venue must be closed behind you on entry and exit. Any member caught leaving the gates open will have their ticket removed and will be banned from the water.

Rib Valley Teams of Six
Congratulations to the ACAS team on winning the Rib Valley Charity Teams of Six competition. The team consisted of Alan Sims, Alan Fox, Pat Rawlings, Kenny Farrell, Peter Green & Martin Adams. In Kenny Farrell we also had the top individual on the day. The match was contested by seven teams and was fished at the Rib Valley fishery. This is the first time ACAS has won this annual competition, which is run in aid of Isabel Hospice.

Swim Reserving - Guidance
Swim reserving is not permitted on ACAS waters. However, if you need to leave the fishery during a session, 90 minutes is the maximum accepted time to leave your swim without removing your gear.

IPA Teams of Six
Congratulations to the ACAS team on winning the IPA Teams of Six competition on Sunday 20th November. The team consisted of Geoff Smith, Alan Sims, Bob Fox, Peter Jordan, Stuart Curtis and Martin Adams. (Unfortunately Alan had to leave before the results were announced so didn’t get in the photo). The match was held on the stretches of the River Ivel around Sandy and this is the first time the club has won this competition that has been running for more than 10 years.

COOPERS LAKE - CATFISH
Due to newly introduced legislation, fisheries on floodplains or which have an inlet/outlet in to a natural water course are no longer permitted to stock/hold catfish. As a result, the club is required to remove the catfish in Coopers Lake. Fishery Management will net off a holding area and members are kindly requested to place any catfish caught in to the holding pen to be removed/re-homed by the EA.
