-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fish-Ins
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have a number of fish-ins arranged this year - location and details below. These events are open to PAC members only and juniors must be accompanied & closely supervised by a responsible adult. We book a limited number of pegs so ROs must be aware of your intention to attend in advance.
Entry fees are £10 per angler, payable on the day. Juniors/Students fish free. Winners and runners-up will accumulate points towards the end of season results. Winners will also be awarded a cash prize on the day and trophies at our Presentation Evening at the end of the season, which is held in March.
Anglers are asked to be at the relevant venue by 07:30 am. Fishing from 8:00am till 4:30pm. Fish must be weighed and returned as quickly as possible, preferably after being witnessed and photographed. The welfare of the fish is paramount so should you feel it in the best interests of the pike to release directly from the water without bringing to the net or land then the ROs will naccept an estimated weight of the fish.
On arrival you must book in with the ROs prior heading off to your selected swim. Pegs are not drawn, you choose your own swim once you've been booked in.
Anglers may help eachother with any aspect of fishing including landing, unhooking, etc. This is particularly the case with junior or inexperienced members who may benefit from help by other anglers.
The welfare of the pike will take priority above all else during fish-ins. In rare cases it may be more beneficial to the pike to be unhooked & released at the waters edge, rather than go through the process of removing it from the water for unhooking/weighing etc. If this is deemed necessary by the angler, Officials will accept an approx. weight for the fish.
