Club Rules & Byelaws
(Update January 2025)
New byelaws were introduced by Natural Resources Wales, effective from January 1st 2020. These byelaws now supersede any previous bylewas put in place by the club prior to January 2020. With the exception of the following:
*All sea trout caught after the 1st of September on association waters must be returned.
*No More than two sea trout to be retained per angling trip
All salmon caught by rod and net fisheries must be released, as must all rod-caught sea trout over 60cm. There are also further restrictions on angling methods designed to improve the survival of released fish.
Before fishing, all members must familiarise themselves with the changes. Please click the link below to view these new changes in full.
