Dogs around the Pool

In the interest of safety and cleanliness, ordinarily, dogs are banned from our fishery. However, we do appreciate that some anglers are dependent on looking after their dogs and may find it difficult to find the time to fish because of this. This season we are introducing a dog Permit that will allow anglers to be accompanied by their pet. But there are stipulations;

1. The owner must apply to the committee for a permit. Permits will be issued with no charge.

2. Dogs must be on a lead at all times.

3. You as the owner, must clean up any mess left by the dog.

4. Permits will only be issued to anglers and bailiffs engaged with bailifing the water.

5. If all the above are not met then the permit will be withdrawn.

 

Notes

There are a number of bait control bait stations positioned around the pool, their exact locations will be on a marked up plan, provided with the permit.

From time to time the stations may contain poisinous material, it is the dog owners responsibility to ensure these stations are not interfered with by their pet.

Buckley Trap Management Team will accept NO responsibility for the safety of their animals whilst on our property.
