Rules These will be adjusted and changed as and when required: ​ Millfield Pool Syndicate Rules
1. Permits are valid from 1st May to 30th April.
2. Under no circumstances fish with more than 3 rods (includes “cheeky” pike rod) . All rods must be in the same peg.
3. "Stalking" must be done from a peg and, unless it has been cleared with neighbouring anglers, you must at least one swim apart from already positioned anglers. I.e. if someone is in peg 2 you must avoid pegs 1, 3 and 10.
4. Tubing or leaders are allowed on fishing rods (trial basis for leaders but if they are found on trees regularly they will be banned again). No braided mainline.
5. No extra bivvies or tents to be put up outside your peg unless you have been given permission and that they blend in with the environment.
6. Bait boats are allowed but excessively frequent use of them is frowned upon.
7. No plastic baits apart from when zig fishing.
8. Normal backleads are allowed to be used when fishing in pegs 3 to 10 and not near snags. No backleads in pegs 1 and 2, and flying and captive backleads aren't allowed at all.
9. Anti bank tramp rules- You can fish up to a 5 night stint once a calendar month, but regularly 3 nights back to back are the maximum. You must then not fish for the same amount of nights you have just done up to 3 days. No going to work/away for several hours leaving your gear in a peg, however you can nip home/get supplies/whatever for a few hours off site.
10. If you want to follow someone into a peg, please don't get anything out of your car until that person has vacated (obviously if you're getting dropped off you can, but unload next to car). If you're desperate to get on then fish an already free peg.
11. Baiting up before your session is allowed if done with respect to anglers fishing at the time. Just because you have pre baited a swim gives you no right to it if someone else arrives before you on the day of fishing.
12. On hot days you can take your top off in your peg but you must wear a t-shirt/vest at least when walking around the lake.
13. Pike fishing is allowed between 1st November and 14th March inclusive. Use only 2 rods for pike fishing. Please use only semi barbed trebles when using bait and barbless only on lures. No free lining for pike.
14. Rowing boats have been provided to assist anglers in retrieving snapped off rigs and tethered fish. Use them at your own risk. A LIFE JACKET MUST BE WORN WHEN IN THE BOAT. An oar and life jacket will be kept in the cabin. Return the boats back where you found them.
15. Quiet, well behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are cleaned up after.
16. Spouses and kids are welcome, bearing in mind this is a serious carp fishing syndicate. You are limited to only one person with you overnight.
17. Guest fishing tickets will be charged at £30 per 24 hours. They must be booked, don't take it personally if they are rejected during busy times. No guests in May and June.
18. Sunday start time is 11am for midweek ticket holders (Monday over bank holiday weekends). You can drive in as early as you want but you must stay around the cabin area and not venture around the lake disturbing others.
19. Publicity - You can put catch photos on social media but do not name Millfield Pool, you can call it things like “my syndicate” or “northern stillwater.“ Photos must be taken on a solid background of trees or path and not have the lake, pegs, the toilets or anything that obviously gives away the location in the background.
20. Never give the gate code out to anyone. Meet anyone you are letting in at the gate. If they don’t have the code already, they shouldn’t be on.
