Association Ethics |
|
Members should at all times respect the environment in which they move
- Do not in any way interfere with the natural environment of the water's edge.
- Remove all broken and waste fishing line and dispose of it safely.
- Drive only on established vehicular tracks.
- Help to clean up areas you visit - carry a spare rubbish bag.
- When visiting remote areas advise others of your planned movements and
safe return.
Members should at all times act in such a way as to conserve fish stocks and ensure the continued success of our sport
- Members are asked to observe a bag limit for trout of four fish per day.
- Adhere rigidly to all other State fishing regulations with regard to bag limits, minimum legal sizes, closed waters and season.
- Be aware of the procedures for the safe return of captured fish and where possible adopt practices that cause the least distress to the fish.
- Do not seek to capture fish beyond your immediate needs and do not seek to
capture undersize fish where these are known to exist in large numbers.
Members should at all times respect the needs of other anglers
- The club caters for anglers adopting a variety of angling methods and styles. These various approaches have their different needs. Members are asked to respect these needs.
- Our common interest is freshwater angling. It is a healthy situation for
friendly rivalry to exist between groups of anglers adopting different
approaches but it is not in the best interests of this club for any one
group to seek to dominate the interests of others.
Members should respect the rights of land owners
- Seek the permission of land owners when entering private property.
- Observe State Forest Regulations.
Members should promote the interests of the Association with the general public
- Respect the rights and needs of all other water users.
- Encourage junior and novice members.
Members should provide the club with accurate fishing records
- Members are urged to keep accurate records of all trout captures.
